The house that existed on this very special 40 000m² site was totally disassembled and re-erected in another beach location, outside Rio de Janeiro at Buzios. The unique home that replaced it has a built area of 800m² and is described by the architects as ‘a simple beach house, with open and comfortable spaces’.

The brief to the architect was to take maximum advantage of the typical KZN south-coast views, both of sea and rolling sugar cane hills and valleys. Further, to recognise climatic factors; north-east and south-west prevailing winds, plus high humidity in the January to March season.

This innovative building comprises the living and working space of an architect / designer partnership. The wooden structure has two levels, laid down on a concrete slab, and the house is built on a site of 2 500m².

Chilean architect Sebastian Irarrazaval created this striking home for his lighting specialist brother.

Architect Stefan Antoni’s own home on the Cape Atlantic coast is in what can only be described as an enviable location. This is quite an unusual site of 528m², being triangular with the long side of the triangle facing one of the most spectacular views of Cape Town.
