Brutal style as an extension of rugged nature: the architectural perfection of Melkbos by SAOTA designers in the suburbs of Cape Town
The Melkbos by SAOTA architects in the suburbs of Cape Town exemplifies the perfect combination of brutal style with rugged nature. Drawing inspiration from its environment, the house capitalizes on traditional materials and provides a modern take on the classic Cape vernacular. It features a spacious and airy open floor plan, filled with natural lighting, wide terraces, pools, and extensive outdoor spaces perfect for relaxation or entertaining. The high walls and dark metal accents provide privacy and act as an extension of the ocean and mountain ranges that surround it, while its juxtaposition of earthy tones and steel create a unique, minimalistic aesthetic. This house is sure to be one of Cape Town's most iconic architectural gems.
Readers of Forum City presents a modern work, somewhat reminiscent of the cubic structures of the Soviet Union. This family house is the work of SAOTA – Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects. Located 30 km from Cape Town in a deserted area on the coast, although the nature of the surrounding area can hardly be called idyllic.
The wall, as the basis of the design solution, made it possible to create the house in a linear manner, thanks to which all the rooms have a magnificent view of the sea. The interior is assembled in a minimalist manner, with each of its elements chosen from the position of maximum functionality. The exterior walls are floor-to-ceiling opening glass structures. Thanks to this, any room can be directly accessed from the surrounding area.
