The setting for this house within Benguela Cove Lagoon Wine Estate, on the Botrivier Lagoon south-east of Cape Town is spectacular \u2013 a slope of indigenous fynbos vegetation runs into the broad waters of a tidal estuary bordered by mountains.

Timber sidings appear at the entrance and are repeated on key ceiling planes, the roofs are a celebration of corrugated aluminium, the over-sailing arms of the \u201cC\u201d shaped layout are a reinterpretation of the traditional \u201calphabetic\u201d planning of the wings or \u201cwerfs\u201d of historic local farms.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-39763 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sohomod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/benguela_cove_house_3.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Benguela Cove House by SAOTA &amp; ARRCC in Overberg, South Africa\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-39766\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sohomod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/benguela_cove_house_3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.sohomod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/benguela_cove_house_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sohomod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/benguela_cove_house_3-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sohomod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/benguela_cove_house_3-750x501.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-full-width=\"800\" data-full-height=\"534\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-39766'>\n\t\t\t\tBenguela Cove House by SAOTA & ARRCC in Overberg, South Africa\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The owner\u2019s vision for a comfortable retreat for his children coupled with liveable outdoor spaces for entertaining was developed into a \u201cC\u201d shaped plan whose wings serve to maximise outlook, frame views and create a large sheltered courtyard. This distinctive sheltering shape is again expressed in the wrapped floor-wall-roof profile of the three wings which, assembled together one above the other, track the site as it slopes towards the water.

Seating is provided by an impromptu collection of OKHA\u2019s luxurious L-shaped Jada sofa, solid oak frame Miles armchair and Nicci armchair in olive-green leather finish. To anchor the collection the Capri Coffee table in Volakas White marble was chosen to resonate with the geological surrounds.
