"Steenberg Views" - Secure Residential Development in Zwaanswyk, Constantia Valley

Redefining Luxury Living. Designed by leading Capetonian Architect, Gerd Weideman, whose inspiration originated from the surrounding magnificent mountains - Constantiaberg as an impressive backdrop with Elephant's Eye cave as a dominant feature, the Table Mountain Range, Muizenberg Peak, the Hottentot's Holland Mountain Range and False Bay coastline, glittering in the distance.

The Architect's goal was to achieve unobstructed views and to blend the aesthetics of the villas' design with the natural slope of the land, surrounded by verdant plantings, including roof-top gardens, which further integrates Nature into the design and enhances the views of the units above, creating an Eco-friendly landscape and ambience.

The use of Clerestory windows introduces additional daylight which further brightens the master bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms, while simultaneously creating a playful step in the elevations between both roofs. The use of one metre high glass balustrades along the balconies contributes towards the impressive quality of interior light. The open plan layout of the ground storey for each villa allows for seamless circulation and augments the natural daylight deep within the interior. The meticulous landscaping of the site preserves the relationship to nature and enhances the serene views over the Constantia Valley. These panoramic views are indeed well renowned as Zwaanswyk is no longer "Cape Town's Best Kept Secret" but particularly sought after by discerning buyers.
A unique feature is the way in which the external staircase of Villa 2 curves around a majestic tree. Not only does this feature provide a sculpted element on arrival, it also fully integrates nature into the design. The layout of each room has been strategically arranged to integrate feature walls to celebrate exceptional artwork, introducing bold statements, in both Villas. The freestanding wall between the entrance and lounge frames both spaces, while the timber clad feature wall in the master bedroom provides character with a built-in fireplace. The dark internal walls in the pyjama lounge provides the perfect opportunity for an exquisite work of art to contrast against the charcoal canvas. The consistency of this unique feature throughout the home unifies the individual spaces and contributes towards the charm and identity of the future homeowner.

Some interesting construction facts contribute to the unique design. Large spans were incorporated to achieve the expansive glass facades, resulting in unobstructed views. Strategically placed columns and dividing walls allow for an open plan design that seamlessly connects the living spaces. The breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds both villas is complemented by impeccable craftsmanship and luxurious materials evident throughout. Fluid transitions between interior and exterior spaces provide a tranquillity that elevates your lifestyle with awe-inspiring, modern design.

Zwaanswyk is an exclusive, secure, sylvan and pastoral residential suburb in Cape Town, South Africa, nestled on the foothills of the Constantiaberg mountain range, surrounded by majestic mountain views and the False Bay coastline to the South. Renowned for its large (generally 4000 square metre) properties and panoramic views, it offers a tranquil, upscale lifestyle within the Constantia Valley. Exquisitely leafy-green and lush in the daytime with a sea of lights twinkling at night in the valley below Zwaanswyk is positioned between the Tokai Forest Reserve and Steenberg Golf Estate & Wine Farm. The suburb provides a peaceful, country-style, yet centrally located living experience. It is popular with equestrians, families and professionals seeking exclusivity and privacy.

Zwaanswyk was originally named "Zwaanswyck aan den Steenbergen", which directly translates from Dutch referencing "Swan Corner or Swan District near the Stone Mountain". Wyck likely refers to the early marshy landscape. The area was originally named for the swans (Zwaan) Catharina Ustings Ras reported seeing at the foot of the Steenberg mountains.

The Steenberg Estate was granted to Catharina Ustings Ras in 1682/1688 by Simon Van Der Stel, making it one of the first farms to be established in the Constantia Valley. Catharina was one of the first independent women farmers in the Cape. The original Cape Dutch manor house, built by Catharina in 1740, was declared a National Monument in 1983 to preserve the farm's legacy.

References to Zwaanswyk and Steenberg continue through the suburb, the historic Steenberg Wine Farm and are now featured in the name of the prestigious, new "Steenberg Views" Development in Zwaanswyk.
