New Project Instruction: Western Cape Holiday Retreat

We are truly excited to announce its appointment to design the interiors of an exceptional new country retreat in South Africa's Theewaterskloof Municipality, overlooking the spectacular Theewaterskloof Dam.

Set within one of the Western Cape's most beautiful rural landscapes, the project will transform the property into a luxurious yet understated escape that celebrates its surroundings while remaining deeply connected to the character and heritage of the site.

The design will balance comfort with refined simplicity, creating warm, inviting interiors that embrace natural materials, layered textures and timeless detailing. Inspired by the relaxed pace of country living, the scheme will offer a contemporary interpretation of the region's vernacular architecture, ensuring the retreat feels authentic, enduring and perfectly at home within its setting.

"Our vision is to create a home that feels as though it has always belonged here," said Paul Fishpool, Founder and Creative Director. "Rather than imposing a design onto the landscape, we want the interiors to complement the natural beauty of the site, creating spaces that are effortlessly comfortable, quietly luxurious and deeply connected to their surroundings."

Located adjacent to the renowned Theewaterskloof Dam, the retreat has been conceived as a destination for rest, reconnection and slow living, with every space designed to maximise views across the surrounding countryside while fostering a sense of warmth and tranquillity.
