HAGELAND ESTATE
This LUXURY BEACH HOUSE in Somerset West with stunning views overlooking the beautiful Strand Beach was designed with bold volumes and contrasting colours that set this home apart from its neighbours.The modern style is very flexible and also well suited to the climatic conditions in the Cape where the best views often face hot summer sunset coniditions for long hours. Windows can be shaded by sweeping geometrical formations. Low maintenance materials such as alumnium window frames are the perfect choice for the modern home.

VAL DE VIE POLO ESTATE
This home designed by Beverley Hui Architects has elements typical of the French Provence style. Particularly the chunky genuine hardwood shuttters, which can be painted in a variety of colours, especially sky blue or lavendar.The history of French influence on architecture goes back hundreds of years, and where classical styles are concerned we endeavour to treat historical references with great respect to achieve an authentic looking final product and avoid kitch architectural cliches. Careful lighting design enhances the features of the facade.

The Palladian's Reflection
THE PALADIAN'S REFLECTION
A unique blend of French and colonial influences gave rise to this elegant home on Val de Vie Polo Estate. Every elevation we design be it in classical or modern architectural language is designed for graceful proportion and poise.The reflection in one of the Estate's lakes adds to the romance.
The Palladian Fountain
THE PALADIAN FOUNTAIN
The symmetrical facade of the home with a triangular pediment, was a daring neoclassical architectural undertaking that required many detailed drawings to achieve the correctly proportioned plaster mouldings.The fountain belongs to the Estate and makes the perfect foreground for this picture perfect home.

THE POLO HOUSE
The modernised French Style didn't even exist in the Cape until Beverley Hui Architects started pushing the envelope of the architectural guidelines in Val de Vie Estate. The crowning acheivement of this series of designs was THE POLO HOUSE, which won the international award for best single unit development at the Property Awards in Dubai 2013.
Ryk Neethling House
AWARD WINNER
Although colonisation in Africa brings to mind much negative historical bagage, many Africans remain proud of the colonial style architecture that exists all over the continent. Typical of the colonial style, are its white walls, slate roof, and apron of columns. The buildings are often arranged in groups of three, creating a formal and dignified symmetry. THE POLO HOUSE shown here is located in Val de Vie Estate, Paarl, and is a good example of the colonial style.
