VISI | Steenberg Home
THERE ARE HOUSES IN BEAUTIFUL SETTINGS THAT TRY TO DISAPPEAR into the landscape. Others like to perch on a prominent spot and lord over all they survey. This one — a holiday home on a big semi-rural plot on the side of the Steenberg mountains in Cape Town — does neither. Its weighty walls and solid masses seem to emerge from the ground and assert themselves unapologetically on the, but somehow doesn't seem like an imposition.
