Landmark House
An architectural jewel of unsurpassed quality.
The Bruynzeel House in Stellenbosch is a widely known masterpiece built from teak, glass and slim face brick. Architect: Aardt Bijl.
It has glass fronts on 2 sides and all windows are framed in solid teak.
The saddle shaped roof (a hyperbolic paraboloid) calls to mind an enormous sun sail on a yacht, which seems to float in the air. The roof never touches the walls directly but rests on windows.
The beautiful ceiling is lined with precious yellow wood and spans freely the upper rooms. At its highest point it is 6 m above the floor.
Elegant room dividers made of teak wood enhance the large reception rooms and the library. Some remarkable pieces of art are integrated into the house. The quality of workmanship of this building is stunning.
Surrounded by a mainly indigenous garden, the house stands on a large plot in sought after Welgelegen, a quiet neighbourhood on the north facing slope of Stellenboschberg.
Superb views on the town and mountains all the way to Table Mountain.
Close to schools and town centre.
