PROJECT STATUS: In Progress

Forest House, Tokai, Cape Town

The house comprises two levels: the living area on the ground floor and the first floor’s bedrooms.

The architectural design required the structural components of the building to be hidden by the face-brick façade. The result is a contemporary take on a traditional finish.

Precision brick-laying was critical to achieving a polished outcome.

We employed different techniques for the structural finishing of concrete.

Corrugated concrete ceilings, balustrade and polished concrete floors added additional character to the building.
