Inspired by local farmsteads and fishermen’s huts, this spectacular family home in South Africa has been cleverly designed so that its owners can indulge their love of outdoor living to the full
EXTERIOR
Set back from the Kromme River, the Fergusons’ new home was designed as series of low pavilions, with verandas and thatched roofs that reflect the style of local traditional Cape architecture. Landscape and garden design, Tarna Klitzner, tarna@mweb.co.za.
SITTING AREA
Accents of green make a subtle connection to the verdant planting beyond, while a generous and richly textured rug introduces a note of luxury to this inviting space.
DINING AND SITTING AREAS
Sliding glass doors allow a seamless flow between inside and out, heightening the family’s connection to nature. In place of brick pillars, eucalyptus tree trunks were chosen to support the densely thatched roof. Bespoke dining table, Egg, eggdesigns.co.za.

Halcyon memories of childhood enticed Johannesburg-born Fiona Ferguson to build a home for herself in St Francis Bay, South Africa. ‘As a teenager, I spent many family holidays here, musseling, windsurfing and watching the sunset from our favourite rocks,’ she recalls. ‘Although the setting is more built-up now, the atmosphere feels the same. It’s still all flip-flops and kikoys – the complete opposite of city life.’
