The first-floor mezzanine wraps around the core of the house—playroom, two compact offices, a reading nook tucked beneath the eaves, and practical attic space housing security systems and internet infrastructure. What distinguishes this 58m² level is its intimacy: low-pitched ceilings bring timber surfaces close, creating a cabin-like atmosphere where spruce cladding treated with Rubio Monocoat surrounds you completely from floor to ceiling. This soft, harmonious finish generates warmth and acoustic softness, enhanced by 100% wool carpeting throughout that deepens both the sound absorption and sensory comfort.
The reading nook captures this quality perfectly: a timber-lined alcove with custom-designed windows framing views toward the ocean and Robberg Peninsula. A balcony extends the length of the rooms, providing a unique elevated vantage point into the valley below with the Tsitsikama mountain range stretching across the distant horizon—demonstrating how carefully considered spaces create the most compelling experiences.
