The Bridle Road Residence in Cape Town, South Africa
The Bridle Road Residence is a sample of modern home design idea located in Cape Town, South Africa and nested at the base of the Table Mountain with an amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean, the cape town city and the harbor at the same time. Designed by Antonio Zaninovic Architects, this modern african house plan is the winner of a 2010 Honor Award from the American Society and Landscape Architects. The house with its amazing rear outdoor area is surrounded by protected natural parklands on three sides
The house features a natural swimming pool, rear deck, the garden and a waterfall built into the side of the home with a floor to ceiling windows that bring a natural feel of the landscape into the house and provides abundance of natural lighting at the same time. The swimming pool is ecologically balanced and self-cleaning using plants, sand, and gravel. The water in the pool circulates upward into a reflection pool in a private courtyard above. Then it washes over the side of the house in the waterfall that flows over the window of an indoor bathing room and sauna. This side of the house is really a magnificent place to spend time.
