KLOOF HOUSE BY SAOTA, Cape Town, South Africa

[@HarrisonKeli]

As an African who watches a lot of The Local Project (A KZbin Channel that features domestic Architecture in Australia & New Zealand) I am astonished that there exists such high quality experiential residential architecture in my home continent. This is Marvellous! Beautiful House. I hope to see more of such in our continent.

[@potatopotatoeOG]

oh my word, there's tons hey! you just need to take different paths and travel far and wide in your local are. you'll be suprised :D

[@HarrisonKeli]

@@potatopotatoeOG haven't seen any.... maybe it's because I'm not rich? Or have rich friends? 😅

[@potatopotatoeOG]

@@HarrisonKeli haha, neither am i. I just walk different paths in different areas I'm used to and you catch a glimpse of a stunning courtyard, or backyard..maybe an interesting roofline. Even just "basic" homes round my township have such interesting features. But you have to take your time catch a different perspective

[@HarrisonKeli]

@@potatopotatoeOGI'm not from South Africa neither have I ever been there, furthermore, I take great interest in architecture and consequently I have friends who happen to be architects, I've shared this video with them and they are of the view thst SA is a different market and as a result, they allow architects to explore and experiment with design unlike in our home country.

[@liongod1000]

@@HarrisonKeli *_ Yep, some of those houses cost could keep an African country fed for a year! _* 🤣😂

[@kenzito101]

A lot of people will overlook the insane creativity and engineering that went into the design of that roof. The fact that you can see so much of nature through the roof and the upper section of the wall, yet still manage how the light falls in without affecting the ambience and temperature is amazing. I would have loved to have been involved in the shoot just to ask how on earth they even came up with this.

[@Luke-hq1pu]

I appreciate the comment about the engineering, I work in the structural firm responsible for it. Indeed these things aren't simple by any means. I will relay the complement.

[@nicholaslofa8867]

Cape Town is probably my favorite city in the world when it comes to access to nature, and they managed to get views of some of its best parts through this roof and window design. It really is the perfect house to me.

[@altenberg-greifenstein]

The roof is definitely superb

[@stadleroux]

What he said about having a different experience of the surroundings because of being able to look through the roof also applies to driving an open-top car, or riding a motorbike, I'm sure, in a mountainous area. It's a totally different experience, as if you're seeing those surroundings for the first time. 😍

[@Skottel12]

I've driven past this house many times, wondering what the inside looks like with its 'funnel' shaped roof as you see it from the road. How beautiful!

[@torisharba6378]

Me too! Ive always thought “the inside of this house has got to be amazing” that ceiling as you drive by always catches your eye

[@nofurtherwest3474]

Wow, I'm surprised it's open to view like that. Not in a gated community?

[@monique_cpt]

Me three. I always wanted to see the roof and what it looked like finished. It's really beautiful

[@lindathusi7230]

Me four... honestly at first glance i didn't like those clearstory windows, they seemed too big and unproportional from the street view. Little did i know its my favourite architects house (Greg) that ive been following on every social media SAOTA has.

[@MrVuvu]

Same here. Stunning

[@thembekilevokwana7620]

What an absolutely FANTASTIC house. Simply BREATHTAKING...

[@AgentAO7]

As expensive as this house looks, I have to say.. Those views are priceless!!! 😍

[@GlynisMarthinussen.]

This is the very reason why SAOTA keeps winning award after award…. The Directors and staff are amazing passionate people and it shows through their work.

[@Architecture_Hunter]

I Agree!!

[@robinpayne9696]

Everything you do is enhanced in a space like this. Every time of day. All weather conditions. They all provide a special moment. I can imagine even a stormy day, with the interior warmly lit, watching the table cloth roll off the mountain top... Such a ceaseless, perpetual, exquisite romance. My mind is just blown (it's almost philosophical by design). 🤯

[@LittleTut]

I really do LOVE that home. Who ever built it knew what they were doing; the ragged mountain just right outside of the back, the foliage, the sweeping city views. I love LA California's cliff homes with views, but the Kloof house with the mountain view so close and the land scaping, Oh my! 😊 Takes my breath away. 🤗🤗🤗

[@yashgandhi4163]

This is not a house. This is a piece of art. Very well done.

[@jeffroom]

I miss Cape Town, a beautiful city. Love it.

[@TheTrippleTKA]

i've never loved an architecture as much as I loved seeing this one. this was on a whole another level

As an architect from the east coast of Australia and recently returned from a brief visit to Cape Town the power exerted by this place is irresistable...well done!

[@amandaferber3688]

I have already visited this house. It’s completely impressive, and this video shows very well every single aspect of it! Well done, team ♥️

[@Architecture_Hunter]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@LittleTut]

I wanted to see more. Those LA, California cliff homes have nothing compared to that house's location. It has sweeping city views, like LA, but with that close up ragged mountain so close. My goodness! 🤗🤩🤗🤩

I think this might be the perfect house in the world apart from mine but mine is more like a zoo, then I also thought of buying that old little green house when You look left coming out of the Pizza restaurant in Kloof as a retirement place but I probably could only keep 10 cats there , Your house is now my favorite for retirement absolutely beautiful !

[@AGirlNamedVan]

Lol please can I be your house keeper then. And your cat minder. I'd go out and do your groceries too

[@jcs3330]

This is a prime example of 'extreme refined and understated decadence'. (all around for you to see amongst the expensive raw materials used to the elegant modern furnishings). So well designed and executed... and so, so hard for many to replicate. Beautiful, Proud, yet reserved.

What I really like about this design is the way the house opens to the vistas without making it feel vulnerable to the environment. Too many homes that are open to the environment afford no sense of privacy. This house accomplishes privacy AND openness. Beautiful design!

I agree that the experience of being in nature or immersed in pleasant atmosphere is one of the most valuable things to have access to at home. Within a city its hard to do this well. The level of focus you had on that goal was really well placed in my opinion.
