As Professional Quantity Surveyors, we provided cost planning and budget management for the restoration of this Edwardian era home in the historic Kenilworth suburb of Cape Town. Years of unsympathetic renovations had to be carefully stripped back to expose the original structure before bedrooms could be enlarged and repositioned, and new double doors and shutters added to open the living areas onto a wraparound covered terrace and garden.
Separated by the pool, a low slung modernist pavilion in concrete and timber cladding was added as a fully versatile guest and entertainment space, complete with kitchenette and bathroom. Our role helped balance the budget across both the heritage restoration and the new build, ensuring the two structures, old and new, came together as a cohesive, timeless home without compromising on the quality of either.
