The Sea House by Sarah Calburn Architects is the perfect retreat for two to the ocean. The incredible structure entirely capitalizes on the breathtaking ocean view off the coast of Betty's Bay near Cape Town, South Africa. Complete with wall transparency, this getaway home is simply an exquisite sunset watching abode.
The fascinating roof of this home uses the space and access to the sun to grow a garden right on the top. Between the courtyard and the roof garden, the vegetation surrounding this retreat is stunning. Below the house along the water's edge are carved "coves" that allow for wind protection and privacy. Featuring a pool and other amenities, the Sea House by Sarah Calburn Architects is truly a spectacular beach house that captivates the imagination and features unbelievable luxuries.
