Hersham, Mossel Bay
Altaire Luxury Villa


Altair Luxury Villa is a self-catering guesthouse in Hersham, which also accommodates the private living quarters of the retired owners.
The building envelope was broken up into separated modest free-standing and human scaled structures.
Flat roofs were installed to respect neighbouring views, with a single limited pitched roof structure to provide balance for the envelope
The layout allows for a sunny, north facing, outdoor entertainment area that is well protected from the prevailing south-eastern sea wind.


The contrasting use of sincere materials like concrete, clay bricks, timber and galvanized steel elements, further refine the underplayed architectural richness.

"Architecture is a team game. It requires many talents to build."
