Magnificent home as a piece of the natural landscape – an ode to minimalism from the famous SAOTA

This magnificent home, designed by the renowned SAOTA architecture firm, is the perfect example of minimalism, blended seamlessly with the natural landscape. With its predominant use of natural tones and materials, like wood, stone, and glass, it pays homage to the landscape it inhabits. The house is comprised of several interconnected volumes, resting atop a wooden platform, overlooking lush greenery and a nearby lake, with an outdoor swimming pool. Its vast, glass windows offer breathtaking views of nature and lead to the interior, which features an open-plan kitchen and living space, creating a harmonious synergy with the outdoors. The large terrace, with its BBQ grill, presents a serene atmosphere for hosting family and friends. This beautiful home is an ideal blend of modern minimalism and the natural landscape.

Cape Town-based studio SAOTA designed Cove 6, a luxurious family residence.

Maximum effort was made to emphasize the values of the site by using materials that reflect the natural palette and texture of the area. The created structure has a strong architectural unity, being airy and at the same time rooted in the landscape under the weight of the masonry walls

The building blends seamlessly into the heterogeneous terrain of the site. Cantilever details, such as the swimming pool and the high boardwalk terraces, protrude beyond the limits of the main structure without disturbing the hillside vegetation.

However, I can’t help but wonder about the practicality of such minimalist homes. Are they comfortable and functional for everyday living?
