Home where the light bathes the existence, where the sun invites to walk through the spaces in a light, elegant, intimate and special way. Casa AL begins with a facade that camouflages with the urban image, without trying to stand out, but at the same time is enhanced by its central volume and by the life of its vegetation in an almost shy way.

In many respects, the minimalist approach that interior design studio OKHA took in this Cape Town home on the slopes of Table Mountain has to do with its views over Green Point and Sea Point. From its elevated position, overlooking the bustle of the city, OKHA’s Adam Court discerned a duality at the heart of the home’s character.

The main concept of the build was to accomplish spaces where the boundaries between inside and outside blur: where the ranges and colors of the environment integrate into the shades of the building, and where the inhabitants can walk barefoot across the considered choice of the same natural stone floor without distinguishing whether they’ve come ou...
