Mwanzoleo beachfront villa Cape Town, a glamorous ultra-modern house

Rising six stories with a dramatic rock backdrop and radiant panoramic sea views is a beachfront villa like no other in Africa. This extravagant retreat is an exclusive sanctuary overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Bantry Bay. Mwanzoleo caters to the discerning few who truly appreciate life’s luxuries: the private villa was designed for the lifestyle connoisseur who demands the quality comforts of their own home, coupled with the convenience and amenities of a private hotel.

Mwanzoleo is widely revered as the finest property of its kind in Cape Town, developed with no expense spared by a consortium of aesthetically knowledgeable British and South African businessmen, for their own private use, who set out to achieve a warm, functional, relaxing holiday environment that lives in harmony with timeless design precision.

This exclusive villa is decorated with great attention to detail, using only superior quality furnitureand fabrics, complimented by an important South African and international art and sculpturecollection. Furniture includes pieces designed by the likes of Fritz Hansen, Charles Eames, B & B Italia and Erro Saarinen. The ‘less is more’ philosophy is flirtatiously contrasted by decadent structural features.

The atmosphere is uplifting and inspiring with breathtaking panoramic sea views, flowing, open spaces with 6m high off-shutter concrete ceilings and magnificent light. With this modernist feel, Mwanzoleo incorporates impressive indoor water features, which introduce the calming sound of cascading water throughout the house. Glass flooring meets large slabs of vein-cut travertine and bold American walnut floors. The quality finishes and refined interior design allows for sophisticated entertaining as well as comfortable, secluded relaxation. Unwind in a glass mosaic rim-flow pool maintained at a constant 28 degrees Celsius.

Mwanzoleo is a Swahili word meaning ‘Beginning Today’; this comes from the ideology that each day is powerful and unique, and that one should ensure that life is appreciated to the fullest.

Atriums
Our Atriums are strategically placed inside each home to import daylight from the roof to all interior spaces and circulate air in the process. The Atriums transform your home to a place where sun, plants and other elements of nature join as one to form a unique tropical 'haven'. The atriums are also 'lanterns' at night with our lighting design that forms a string of illumination running through the entire house. They are the perfect place to put other features such as fountains, indoor gardens, etc.

Lights
Our Lights not only brighten the homes, they also make them warm and wonderful. Our dimmer switches put you perfectly in control as you set the mood lights to the right ambience to match your emotions.

Windows
Our distinctive feature both internally and externally is our generous size of windows. It's often an accepted practice to have dark corners inside standard buildings but with our generous array of panoramic windows, we have ensured there are no dark spaces and adequate ventilation within the home is assured.

Roof Top Terraces
Our 'urban sanctuaries' are roof top terraces that we include in our homes to compensate for having less grounds in areas where land is at a high premium. In order to avoid our customers paying dearly for a few extra square metres on ground, we've moved the playground to the roof, with natural views 'built in'!

Bathrooms
Every bathroom is created with precision in mind. The tiles are craftly laid with spacers to give a clear distinct separation between tile and grout. The sanitary wares are imported from top manufacturers thereby making the final product easily comparable with that of an international 5 star hotel.

Volumes
These are the indoor spaces above your head and we create lots of them in our homes. Combined with galleries on the upper floors, our homes produce many imaginative and interesting indoor characters.

Staircases
Staircases are no longer concrete slabs hidden away in a obscure corner of the house. Our staircases are a celebration between steel and wood. We therefore celebrate your flight between the floors of your home by creating different shapes of stunning staircases mingling crafted steel and wood in a wonderful marital bliss.
