A bold modern contemporary design, artfully executed and visually linked to the natural landscape with beautiful views from every which way, coexists in perfect harmony within its surroundings. Situated within the exclusive nature estate of Pezula Private Estate in Knysna, this exceptional residence offers a sensory feast for the eyes, where nature and architecture converge to create an unparalleled living experience.
Be prepared to be captivated as you step into a world where aesthetics and functionality intertwine. Designed by the renowned award-winning architect Thomas Gouws, whose design ethos captures “poetic, modern masterpieces that are elegant, sensitive and climatically appropriate”. This home is emphatically modern with lines projecting, intersecting and running in parallel as its primary language.
Driving up to this home you are met by bold sleek lines, warm wood and off-shutter concrete textures. The garage door and front entrance integrated and concealed within its design, present a seamless façade to the street, revealing little about the captivating spaces that come alive once its door opens.
Your journey begins along a long walkway constructed from wooden decking and defined with a striking natural stone cladded wall stretching out before you, beckoning you to explore further. As you traverse this enchanting passage, a hidden indigenous oasis reveals itself and delivers you to the entrance hall, where a breathtaking ocean view awaits merging the boundaries between the indoors and the vast expanse of the sea beyond.
The house is based on an H-plan and is defined by two distinct modern functional structures consisting of the main house and a utility building, surrounded by two separate inner courtyards that are screened off and treated as outdoor extensions of the interior. The H-plan offers the opportunity for every interior space to benefit from natural light, allowing views from both sides via expansive double-glazed multi panel glass doors and windows creating an inspiring sanctuary that is as visually captivating as it is serene.
The main house contains the family living spaces and bedrooms. It runs in one open sweep encompassing the lounge, dining room, study, kitchen and an enclosed north facing verandah looking onto the pool courtyard. The enclosed verandah washes the home in warmth creating an interior entertainment area that is continuously bathed in light. The utility building is placed closest to the street and incorporates spacious garages, a storeroom and an expansive workshop that offers the flexibility to transform into either a recreational studio or an additional bedroom with a living area.
If you ever find yourself yearning to venture beyond, the charming town of Knysna awaits a short drive away. Explore the enchanting forests, experience the beauty of the lagoon, indulge in the famous oysters, and enjoy the stunning beaches. Embracing the best of both realms, this property presents an unparalleled opportunity to revel in the harmonious coexistence of contemporary living and the boundless wonders of the natural environment.
