Award of Excellence Citation
The building programme called for a main house,
meditation pavilion and guest cottage. The location is a new wine farm on a
site of spectacular natural beauty. The design response achieves architecture
of exquisite subtlety with minimum intervention on the pristine site,
characterised by a minimalist design vocabulary.
Architect's Motivation
The site has been cleared of alien vegetation
and an extensive infrastructure program including new roads, a stormwater
management system water and electrical reticulation, has been carried out.
The steep slopes of the site fold around a kloof of sorts, with easterly and northerly orientation, and extend almost to the apex of the Vlakkenberg.
