CAPE DUTCH HOUSES:
CAPE DUTCH HOUSE GABLES
The defining feature of all Cape Dutch houses is the central Gable. Originally a water-proofing feature, the Gable became more and more of creative expression and even a status symbol. Beginning with the simplest gable at Joostenburg, the gables became more and more intricate as time went on. Some of the finest gables can be found at La Dauphone, Morgenster and Vredenberg wine farms.

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.
