Rustic Beach House by SAOTA

This is a beautiful rustic beach house designed by SAOTA in Hangklip near Cape Town in South Africa. Its connection with the ocean is definitely something worth to see and experience.

According to SAOTA, the owner requested a modern home that reflects surroundings of the gorgeous South African location. While Hangklip Mountain protects this rustic beach house from the North, rocky beach and open ocean offer unique atmosphere and views to the South.

Inside of this rustic beach house, natural colors and materials created wild and fresh atmosphere, just like the client wanted. Open floor plan layout created an opportunity to enjoy in ocean views from almost every room in the house. While beautiful views made the views, interiors, designed by Antoni Associates, are defined by the interesting architectural elements like exposed timber roof rafters, stone walls and contemporary wooden furniture.

According to SAOTA, "the living spaces were designed with north-south orientations, resulting in an open flowing space with sea and mountain terraces. This allows the house to live on both sides with the main living spaces forming the link between inside and outside. The orientation gives the owners the option of entertaining on the mountain/dining terrace side during poor weather conditions and on the living/sea terrace side on sunny days. The through-views also ensure that one always experiences the beauty of the sea and mountain.
