This timber house on the West Coast sits lightly in its natural environment
Denise Levy was a wonderful client to work with,” says Rustic Homes architectural designer, Bobby Welman. “She had a good idea of what she wanted, and that was a home with open spaces, lots of natural light and usable areas. “The main thing that Gavin Levy was concerned about was that there was a functioning braai.”
This prime-positioned home in Yzerfontein, which was built by Rustic Homes, is also used for photographic shoots and, more recently, for cookery classes hosted by Denise’s cookery school, Ginger and Lime.
This is the second beach house that Rustic Homes and Bobby have built for Denise. It says a great deal about the company that their clients return to them again and again. Their houses have all the up-market qualities associated with high-end homes in places such as New England and The Hamptons.
