The Swellendam House - a contemporary home in the valleys of Langeberg Mountains, South Africa, designed by GASS Architecture

Private Residence in South Africa Surrounded by a Magnificent Landscape




The Swellendam House is a contemporary home in the valleys of Langeberg Mountains, South Africa, designed by GASS Architecture. Due to the pristine surrounding natural landscape, the architectural intervention had to be non intrusive and also to blend in. According to the architects, “the residence was built “using largely local textures and materials reminiscent of its distinctly Southern African origins. In addition to the architecture itself, efforts were made to make the house and the land itself more sustainable. All the water used in the house is harvested from the site itself, and as a result there is no connection to the municipal water supply line, making the house self-sustaining from a water perspective“. The structure of the project is simple and practical. The residence is composed of three volumes: the largest accommodates the public areas, while the smaller boxes include the bedrooms, bathrooms and a movie room.

Modern Composition of Regular Forms: Cape Town’s Luxurious POD Boutique Hotel

Discretion and elegance are the main characteristics subtly promoted by the POD boutique Hotel, a luxurious accommodation unit completed in 2012 in Cape Town, South Africa. Envisioned by Greg WrightArchitects, the project is conveniently positioned so that all its 15 rooms have extensive views over one or two of the following landmarks: Camps Bay Beach, Table Mountain, Lions Head or the 12 Apostles.

Some of the features of the design language used to individualize the POD hotel are listed by the architects: “the 2-storey high privacy fins on the penthouse suites, the entrance screen and feature wall that is composed of scaffold planks recycled from the building site itself, the organic shaped bar with its cantilevered ice wells, the tensioned stainless steel screen in the stairwell that stretches between 4 vertical floors and then the timber alcoves that hold the beds and bathing areas“. Each room is defined by an open space layout, with a color palette deriving from materials such as slate, timber and granite.
