Vantage House extends across the steep coastal hillside of Pinnacle Point Golf Estate, overlooking the Indian Ocean.

The design is distinguished by a dramatic floating upper volume, subtly twisted in relation to the lower platform. This shift in geometry creates a dynamic composition of overlapping planes, deep cantilevers and contrasting angles, giving the residence its distinctive sculptural character.

The lower level forms a grounded base, opening through extensive glazing onto sheltered terraces and a swimming pool overlooking the coastline. White plastered surfaces, off-shutter concrete and dark aluminium framing emphasise the contrast between the suspended upper form and the solid platform beneath.

Inside, exposed concrete ceilings, warm timber finishes and a floating staircase beneath a glazed roof opening complement the bold exterior. Carefully integrated lighting accentuates the projecting volumes, while indigenous landscaping connects the residence to its rugged coastal setting.
