Plettenberg Bay House
The four-bedroom home is set on a ridge overlooking a golf course in an exclusive Plettenberg Bay residential estate. The house is nestled into the hillside, with all rooms overlooking the valley below. A large open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is located on the lower level and roofed over with an indigenous landscaped garden which is overlooked by bedrooms on the upper floor. A wide entrance passage and staircase forms a strong arrival axis offering direct views of the golf course and pool from the entrance lobby. .

Lagoon Cottage
Lagoon Cottage is located in the historic hamlet of Churchhaven, a small fishing village on the shores of the Langebaan Lagoon near Cape Town. Kritzinger Architects were appointed to transform an old cottage which occupied the site for many years. The transformation was limited to 140m2 and had to comply with stringent design guidelines given the site's historic context. Key feature walls of the existing cottage were retained and stripped of plaster to reveal the old brickwork which was bagged and painted. Internal living was re-imagined and the existing roof was removed and replaced with a new pitched corrugated iron roof in keeping with the local vernacular. A new corrugated iron building was constructed as a guest suite accessed from an internal courtyard. The closely spaced larch rafters and OSB (oriented strand board) ceiling provide a continuous span over the living area which opens out onto a large lagoon-facing terrace.
