House Carstens is in a Nature Conservancy area near Cape Agulhus, at the southernmost tip of Africa.
The house was designed for a challenging steep sandy site, in notorious weather conditions due to it’s exposed location at the tip of Africa. The main kitchen, living areas and main bedroom are on the first floor to maximise views sea views. Covered verandas, opening up to the living area with sliding doors, to both the south and north allow for outdoor living in either of the predominant weather conditions, namely summer south easters, and cold north western in the winter months.
