SIZE 150m2
Set amidst the leafy country lanes and lush paddocks of Noordhoek, a sleepy suburb in the farthest reaches of Cape Town’s Deep South, a contemporary barn-style home that Francien van Eck and Casey Bertie share with their children, Freya and Felix, is the perfect expression of their desire for simplicity.
As a commercial photographer and the owner of a stills production company respectively, Casey and Francien fell in love with the rural atmosphere of this horsey neighbourhood and its incredible 8km-long beach a decade ago.
“I was born in Hollandof the English, Afrikaans mix made me feel right at home.”
