ELEVATIONS
SIDE ELEVATION 1
SIDE ELEVATION 2
This is a famly farm so it seems to create a comfortable open multifunctional space.
The idea is to create a setting which is welcoming & pleasurable and will welcome people when they arrive. By adhearing to the vernacular alignments of the existing werf, (low walls along pathway) & incorporating features such as water, landscaping, outside spaces in a “hand-made” wine culture, create the perfect day-time setting for the restaurant.

This does not mean copying the style, but rather designing a timeless, yet appropriate building which compliments the old werf. Altydgdacht is a rich valley of greens, trees, a real spoilt Cape Dutch wine estate, and should be kept that way. But the need for the briefed facilities prevails and the current cellar is too small & dark. The cellar can still be used while the new building can accommodate the needs of the client.
