Nettleton 199 House Description form Architect:
“The brief was to create a building that maximised the connection with the view and the sea, establish a garden that connected to the mountain side of the site and to minimise views over neighbouring buildings. The result is a building that provides a volumetrically dramatic and dynamic interior space on a grand scale and one that feels coupled to both the ocean and mountain elements. The luminous interior décor creates a soft and intimate counterpoint whilst not jeopardizing the dramatic and clean, geometric lines of the architecture. These contrasting décor and architectural elements harmoniously co-exist and work off each other to great effect. The canvas like slabs of pure white wall mold and delineate the interior spaces and also provide a consistent gallery feel throughout, as such art and sculpture play a pivotal role in personalizing the interior and act as an inspirational interactive catalyst between building, location and inhabitation” Nettleton 199 House really contemporary beach house design in Cape Town at South Africa
