The house is oriented to amplify natural light and the transitions of the day. Morning sun floods the bedrooms. Afternoon light warms the living spaces. Vast windows frame the fynbos and mountains—always present, always changing.
As daylight fades, artificial lighting takes over with equal consideration: dimmers on every switch maintain the general softness of the space, allowing you to modulate intensity rather than impose it. Feature lighting throughout uses natural materials—handmade terracotta pendants, custom clay pieces that echo the earthy palette of the tiles and stone.
This isn't dramatic architectural lighting; it's illumination that supports the same quiet presence the house maintains during daylight hours, ensuring the transition into night feels like continuation rather than interruption.
