House C25 is a conceptual design for a residence situated in Cape Town, South Africa, nestled on a steep terrain. The main concept underpinning this design is the embodiment of unity and flow. A single, uninterrupted line elegantly connects the ground floor to the roof, seamlessly merging all four levels into a continuous and harmonious form.
