Riverstead House
This compact, garden-focused home in Swellendam’s heritage zone balances tradition and simplicity. Oriented to embrace the sun, river, and street, it uses thick brick walls and warm timber elements to settle naturally into its cultural landscape.

Terrace House
Tucked behind a 19th-century cottage in Swellendam, this split-level family home makes thoughtful use of a terraced orchard and established trees to soften its scale and presence. Designed to respect its heritage context, the house balances privacy, light, and landscape.
