The Bridge House







Here is the Bridge House has been designed by  Van Der merwe Miszewski Architects to be an attractive and contemporary place, as construction in Cambodia construction materials stated. 

As the description from architects, “The site slopes, in places steeply, from Glen Avenue down towards the North. 

There are views of Table Mountain, Devils Peak, Lions Head and Signal Hill, the adjacent Pine forest, the City, the Harbour, the Atlantic Ocean, and beyond. 

At the uppermost end of the site, a bridge was placed across the Donga, allowing the Donga to remain below. 

A pool and stream, flowing to a pond, were inserted into the dry riverbed. The flow of water is dammed by the POOL, then runs freely in the stream and settles in the pond at the base of the site. 

Intensive planting will regenerate the garden. Found pathways and steps have been reinstated and added to. The Bridge is the “Main House”; containing entry, living spaces and main bedrooms”.
