It’s no wonder the Fynbos House has been featured in 15 magazines. Its fine location between the great grey mountains and sea of Betty’s Bay, Western Cape sets it apart from others. The Fynbos house is almost purely surrounded by a fynboss garden that reaches all the way to the building’s decks. It also features a meandering boardwalk that gives access to the beach, an outdoors shower deck and grass mounds. Majority of the walls are made of glass giving a clear view of both the sea and the mountains.

What I found interesting about this building is that it doesn’t overpower the natural beauty around it. Instead there is a harmonious balance between the natural landscape and the building itself.
