They are all luxury homes built painstakingly to stand out and celebrate the ingenuity of South African architects and civil engineers. Apparently, it cost a lot to build these houses in South Africa<\/a> but seeing how they are celebrated today is a testament that it was worth investing in them. Below is our pick of the best most beautiful houses in South Africa.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n First on our list of best and most beautiful houses in South Africa is the OVD 919 House. This beautiful structure was constructed in 2004 by the Stefan Olmesdahl Architects (SAOTA). OVD 919 House was built with the view of providing luxury that any homeowner would be proud of. The aim is to have a home with a 360-degree view of the mountains and the seas. This gives you a great aesthetic view but with an added personal touch.<\/p>\n The site was chosen because of its location that is situated on the mountain ridge below Lions Head and overlooking Robben Island to the North, as well as Camps Bay and Twelve Apostles to the South. The massive structure stands on a 5000m2 land with about four family-sized bedrooms, three guest rooms, and a swimming pool. The owner wanted something private, therefore the surrounding plots that were up to 1000m2 were also purchased in addition to it.<\/p>\n The house was built up to 2-storeys above the ridge and is made up of living areas and a terrace with a pool and garden. The bedrooms were situated at the topmost of the building to meet up with the privacy agreement that SAOTA has with the owner. Some part of the house\u2019s living space will give you an awesome view of the ocean and the beautiful landscape that surrounds it. The family rooms were made with cozy interior designs that will amaze you and offers the best of comfort that money can provide. The kitchen area was designed to be spacious with enough room where people can eat as a family and still have enough space for added kitchen furniture.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The master\u2019s bedroom provides a great view of the surrounding landscape that shows the beauty of nature and the overlooking mountains. At the house\u2019s mid-level, you can enter through the garage built with double graffiti walls. You can then proceed to the staircase which is wrapped around a positioned glass situated centrally. This is where you can proceed to the upper levels of the house.<\/p>\n The house layering gives space for varieties of experiences where spaces are concerned.\u00a0 Starting with the main stairs, the house is designed with a linear custom-made coffee bar that leads into the home’s kitchen. The kitchen then leads into the Dining Room which consists of the Summer Lounge that has a very high ceiling of ribbed concrete. Adjacent to the kitchen is the Winter Lounge but with a lower ceiling than the Summer Lounge.<\/p>\n The lower ceiling makes the view a bit framed with the fireplace and creates an intimate space where the family can stay together. The mid-level shows a nice connection between the internal and external living and you can choose any depending on your choice. The fully overgrown walls that surround the back are hard not to be noticed The house is a complete villa designed for luxury and comfort and is one structure that must be mentioned when beautiful homes in South Africa are under discussion.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This was an ambitious design by the renowned architect Raymond Alexander and it\u2019s a house that has the capacity to rotate up to about 348 degrees. This may seem surreal but it\u2019s an actual design that doesn\u2019t fail to thrill any first-time observer. The rotating action can be activated with the push of a button and the action will immediately set in. The structure is a 19,000 square foot dome mansion located in the Spanish Farm suburb of Somerset West. The villa is owned by the German businessman Harard Scheppig together with his wife.<\/p>\n The motivation around the house was one of curiosity and a man who has money to get his desired structure that will tick all the necessary boxes. The house was completed in 2001, two years after plans for the building started and you wouldn\u2019t even notice that it\u2019s that old due to the special plaster that covers the walls, preventing cracks from occurring. The developers chose to employ an artist that did justice to the edifice by providing domes with high ceilings situated with enough skylights to provide natural light into its interior.<\/p>\n1.
