This holiday apartment is both the epitome of elegant luxury and a family-friendly home.
Location is probably the most frequently used mantra in the property world for good reason: when a property is blessed with a singular location, possessing great potential and commanding exceptional views, its value is both economic and personal. And a prime location demands an appropriate architectural and interior-design response.
When the Infinity apartment development was proposed for Bakoven on the Atlantic Seaboard a couple of years ago, the challenge was to make the most of its setting. The impression of unbounded space is not an illusion: the development lies on the very edge of the urban zone, where the last buildable Bakoven plot meets the Table Mountain nature reserve.
With no neighbours on the southern reach of coast as far as the distant Twelve Apostles Hotel & Spa, and the panoramic vista of the Atlantic directly in front, it’s the epitome of untrammelled space and light. The developers identified Arthur Quinton Darryl Croome as the architectural partnership best placed to do it justice.
