The Mountain House, designed by Chris van Niekerk, has been shortlisted for the 2024 Scape Awards of Excellence in the Residence of the Year category.

This home, set on the slopes of the Constantiaberg mountain, is derived from a primordial investigation into shelter and dwelling. Completed in 2022, the design places equal importance on both occupant and environment with simple, unadorned materials, benefitting its owners by addressing everyday requirements and processes of life in a measured way.
