INSIDE OUT

Situated at the end of the bedroom wing of a family home in Constantia, Cape Town, this master suite offers spectacular views of the garden, over the vineyards and the mountains beyond. Glass sliding doors enable such vistas, while privacy is ensured by sliding cedar screens. From the garden, the bedroom appears to float, an impression enhanced by the foliage where floor meets ground.

Elements of extreme simplicity —there is no false ceiling, with the offshutter concrete roof left raw—combine with ample curtaining to create a space that feels comfortably sheltered yet wide open to the natural world outside.
