Nestled in the cliff-top estate \u201cThe Cove\u201d in Pezula, Knysna, in South Africa, the Cove 3 house<\/strong> was designed by the architecture office SAOTA\u00a0<\/strong>to be integrated into the topography & natural colour of the fynbos, maintaining a seamless connection with landscape and ocean.<\/p>\n

Originally designed \u00a0for a Johannesburg based family, the Cove 3 house <\/strong>can be\u00a0used as a family home but is also the perfect place\u00a0for holidays.<\/p>\n

Contemporary architecture<\/h2>\n

Designed to optimize\u00a0<\/strong>views and openness to the ocean, the architecture office\u00a0SAOTA<\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0primary idea was to create a single living space with a single roof element floating over it that responded to the slope of the site.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Cove 3 house\u00a0<\/strong>boasts an incredible\u00a0roof set at a sufficiently high level, creating the illusion that one is sitting in the landscape rather than in a room. To reinforce the connection with the sky, the roof features a large triangular cut-out.<\/p>\n

Moreover,\u00a0the architecture office\u00a0SAOTA<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>undertook a very detailed solar analysis of the building to get direct sun out of the building. As a result, a midlevel horizontal sunscreen was added to the double height glass fa\u00e7ade and the skylight is protected by a timber screen that hangs into the space to mitigate the scale of the double volume space.<\/p>\n

Care was also taken in selecting performance-glass that would minimise the impact of direct sun.<\/p>\n

To fade\u00a0Cove 3 house<\/strong> into the\u00a0landscape, the architecture office\u00a0SAOTA<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>mainly chose natural materials such as off-shutter concrete, Rheinzink roofing, timber cladding, stone and exposed aggregate.<\/p>\n

All these elements, the high and sloped roof, the tall glass walls, the outdoor deck, the infinity-edge pool and all these natural elements, contribute to the residence\u2019s south-facing orientation, to fade it into the landscape for complete intimacy and to preserve the natural environment.<\/p>\n

Outstanding interior design<\/h2>\n

Inside the Cove 3 house,<\/strong>\u00a0a spiral stair connects the living level to a private lounge and the master bedroom on a mezzanine level. This stair was conceived as a sculptural element in the large volume to again mitigate the scale of this space. This spiral drops through the floor to a lower level which houses a guest bedroom, a home theatre and a living room.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Cove 3 house\u00a0<\/strong>also features an L-shaped extension to the South West that houses the two children\u2019s bedrooms.<\/p>\n

The design for the Cove 3 house<\/strong> was carried out in collaboration with SAOTA<\/strong>\u2019s interior design studio, Antoni Associates.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe interiors are uncluttered and reflect the easy living requirements of the clients. Spaces are sparse, and have been furnished minimalistically which emphasise the strong architectural lines and volume of the architecture. The furniture is modern, and a number of bespoke pieces were sourced from the designer\u2019s retail outlet OKHA. A neutral palette of ivory, stone and shell complement the natural architectural timber and concrete finishes selected throughout,\u201d says Mark Rielly of Antoni Associates.<\/p>\n
