CYPRESS COVE – ROMANSBAAI ESTATE

In the coastal landscape of Romansbaai, a small house called Cypress Cove combines Cape Dutch architecture with modern design. The name “Cypress Cove” is derived from the Cypress timber ceiling and trusses, symbolizing everlasting life. This 165-square-meter cabin offers ocean views due to its strategic positioning. Cypress Cove blends seamlessly into its surroundings by using bagged plaster, brick, and natural rock cladding while excluding contemporary style and rustic charm.

The Interior design admires the traditional Cape Dutch farmhouse barns while embracing modern aesthetics. Immense windows grace the living spaces, allowing the daylight to enter inside, resulting in an open, airy ambience that amplifies the ocean. The open-plan layout effortlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating a sense of unity and an easy flow between spaces. The strategic positioning of Cypress Cove ensures that the views become an intrinsic part of the interior experience, seamlessly merging the boundaries between inside and outside.

The Cabin’s interior can be described as, a careful selection of warm materials that offers a cosy touch, while custom fixtures, such as the free-standing fireplace, infuse the living spaces with character.

The entertainment area outside Cypress Cove features a north-facing courtyard adorned with a covered pergola, providing a delightful space for outdoor dining and relaxation. At the same time, an external braai adds an inviting touch for unforgettable gatherings with friends and family.

As time passes, Cypress Cove will stand as a testament to the harmony between traditional craftsmanship and modern design.
