La Pinta & Da Gama

Langebaan, South Africa

Proposal of New Prototype Residential Buildings

Developed across the La Pinta and Da Gama estates in coastal Langebaan, this series of residential prototypes explores adaptable estate living through a modular architectural language. While unified by a shared design logic that is rooted in the context and including elements such as double-pitched roofs, generous north-facing verandas, and open-plan interiors. La Pinta embraces a more expressive architectural expression, while Da Gama adopts a quieter, more restrained approach. Balancing traditional Cape vernacular with contemporary spatial needs, the prototypes offer practical, characterful homes that engage thoughtfully with environment, scale, and setting. From compact single-storey layouts to soaring trussed volumes, the series reflects a cohesive yet varied approach to modern estate living.
