URBAN CONTEMPORARY  |  PRIVATE RESIDENCE  |  CAPE TOWN

A Sculpted Sanctuary Between Mountain and Sea

Cradled on the slopes of Lion’s Head with panoramic views across the city bowl and Atlantic Ocean, this established garden already had strong structural “bones” in place. But the brief called for something more intimate, a green sanctuary that brought softness, shade, and the quiet rhythm of nature into a well-loved home.

The client envisioned extending their lifestyle deeper into the garden by removing the old artificial lawn and replacing it with a real, living lawn, while also introducing new entertainment pockets to pause and enjoy the ever-changing views. They wanted trees to frame and almost enclose the home, blurring the lines between urban living and nature.
