Set within the leafy avenues of Newlands, at the foot of Table Mountain, this renovation reimagines a classical home for contemporary family life. Defined by symmetry and decorative detailing, the original house is carefully expanded to accommodate a growing household through the addition of new bedrooms and generous living areas. The extensions draw on the home’s classical language while introducing a refined simplicity. A high-end kitchen redesign forms the heart of the plan, with crafted joinery, natural stone surfaces, and fluted glass cabinetry adding texture and softness. Living spaces open to an outdoor area animated by skylights, bringing light deep into the interior. Herringbone patterned tiles, packed stone masonry shape the terraces and garden rooms, grounding the additions within the landscape. The result is a home that honours its heritage while offering warmth, light, and flexibility for modern family life.
