PENINSULA STYLE CAPE DUTCH HOUSES
On the Cape Peninsula it became popular to have a protruding mid-section around the front door. This includes the famous house at Groot Constantia which is now a museum and a very popular tourist attraction. The house at Stellenberg is beautifully proportioned but being a private house is only accessible once a year. The house at Rustenburg is actually not on the Peninsula but is located on a farm in Stellenbosch.
This house is situated in de Zalze winelands golf estate. The long pool is on axis with the center of a covered verandah. A wonderful space for entertaining guests. The roof is made of corrugated iron instead of the traditional thatch.
This perfect example of the Cape Dutch style is an architect's dream set as it is on a picturesque working wine farm, just outside Stellenbosch.
The house is privately owned and difficult to photograph!

At Beverley Hui architects we design residential buildings in both modern and traditional Cape Dutch styles. The residential Cape dutch house plan typically is formed in a U or H shape, which creates the best shelter from the Cape weather. The architect has adapted these into modern house plans. This photo shows a modern interpretation of the Cape Dutch House and gables by the Architects. The architect has modernised the gables.
