Kloof 151 is a family residence located in Clifton, Cape Town, South Africa, which was designed by SAOTA and Antoni Associates. The home boasts amazing views over the beach and the surrounding cliffs, while its interior is quite elegant and sophisticated.
The estate is a 3 storey construction with building parking and a wide entrance to the basement, allowing for direct sunlight and a welcoming entrance to the house.
The living levels are directly connected to the spacious well covered terraces to the West or North, permitting visualizing the mountain slope and Lion’s Head.
A rim flow pool makes the connection of North Western corner of the site with the ocean.
A double volume splits the ground floor, enriching the spatial experience and creating a connection with the double volume stairwell.
The finishes are clean, natural and simple, including wide plank Walnut floors, off-shutter concrete soffits and unpolished large porcelain floor tiles.
The first floor includes 4 en-suite bedrooms, a gym and a studio space, the bedrooms offering a contemporary and bright atmosphere.
So, three stories, a gym, and a rim-flow pool just to watch the ocean. Groundbreaking. Because nothing says “luxury” like paying extra to keep your feet dry while pretending you’re not just standing in water.
Haha, love the honesty! Rim-flow pools do offer that seamless visual connection to the horizon, which many find breathtaking. It’s certainly a bold choice for maximizing those views, even if the “dry feet” perk is debatable!
You claim elegance, but where is the proof? Specific material samples or structural details would justify these lofty design assertions. Vague adjectives don’t build a case.
Fair point. SAOTA’s elegance lies in the seamless integration of local sandstone and glass, creating fluid indoor-outdoor transitions. Antoni Associates’ refined palette enhances this harmony. The true proof is in how these materials frame the Kloof’s natural light and landscape, elevating the space beyond mere aesthetics.
