Victoria 73 House by SAOTA and Antoni Associates
SAOTA (Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects) and Antoni Associates designed the Victoria 73 house for a family in Cape Town, South Africa.
.
Project description
The property had an existing house, which completely under-utilized the site’s fantastic characteristics. The brief called for a dynamic response to capitalise on the site, creating an environment where the young family could enjoy an outdoor lifestyle offered by the site. This outdoor area is protected from the prevailing winds, and enjoys views of the sea, and more immediate views of large boulders to the South. The clients were eager to utilise every possible area of the site, yet ensure that they maintained privacy in this dense part of Bantry Bay, where sites are fairly small and owners typically maximise their allowable building envelopes.
Architects: SAOTA (Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects)
Interior Design: Antoni Associates

There is a point where “high end” in contemporary architecture gets too high.

Great architectural features and maximal site-use. Pity the architects didn’t choose the cluttered furniture.
