PEZULA ESTATE | KNYSNA

After a limited mini-competition GWA´s submission was chosen and commissioned to design this new home that explores the provisions of combining form and material dominated by a raw natural context with views down to an untamed coastline along this private estate in Knysna . Challenged by the climate and orientation of the site with the expansive views towards the coastline and the opposing orientation of the sunshine and a key requirement where art work was central to the experience of the house. Materials were to be kept simple and expressive, volumes and light had to pervade the living areas creating a "gallery" to live in and experience the artwork.
