Architecture firm SAOTA, has designed a new house in Cape Town, South Africa, that has views of the Atlantic Ocean.
The facade of the house showcases a gabion-walled exterior and a vertically slatted box that hovers over a terrace.

The master bedroom is hidden within the slatted box, providing privacy and delicately filtering light into the room.

The slatted box was engineered from a durable yet lightweight aluminium, in a finish that mimics the different tones of tree bark, creating a durable solution to Cape Town’s capricious seasons. The screens can be opened or closed to adjust the amount of natural light filtering into the interior.

The master suite also has a bathroom with a wall of mirrored wardrobes, a large vanity, and at the end is a walk-in shower, and hidden out of sight is a freestanding bathtub.
