"Beau Constance is a captivating union of architecture and nature. 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 primary
building components of wall, floor slab and roof, are reduced to planar
elements throughout, composed to create a sculptural interplay between mass and
void. This lightness of touch is immediately evident when approaching the main
house. The private accommodation it contains appears as a simple volume poised
above a loose landscape of ground planes which define the principal living
area.
At Beau Constance, space and scale have been masterfully manipulated. Its inhabitants are provided with a spatial experience which is richly layered, and perfectly in tune with its natural environment. The project is one of conceptual rigor and architectural clarity - from the planning through to the resolution of detail."
