Just beneath the Waaijoek Mountain in South Africa’s lush Breede Valley, about 90 miles outside Cape Town, sits Bosjes (meaning “small bushes” in Dutch), a unique retreat on a 2,500-acre farm. An 18th-century barn has been converted by South African firm TV3 into a five-bedroom guesthouse with interiors courtesy of local designer Liam Mooney, where clay walls and black and white tiles marry brass and chartreuse accents. Bosjes Kombuis restaurant (Mooney again, working alongside Steyn Studio) “is inspired by the simplicity of Cape Dutch architecture, farm vernacular, and the mountainous landscape,” says Coetzee Steyn, director of the London-based firm, combining cement floors and brass accents with a trussed ceiling alternating between oak paneling and skylights. Outside, patio seating is set beneath an A-frame structure, and an intricate tree mural from artists Michael Chandler and Lucie de Moyencourt covers one end of the barn-like building; inspired by Delft pottery, it is crafted from 366 blue and white handpainted tiles. The serene hideaway also boasts a sprawling amphitheater-shaped tea garden, as well as a striking glass-enclosed chapel situated on the vineyard, another creation by Steyn Studio. Taking inspiration from the whitewashed Cape Dutch manor houses, the chapel’s pure white color contrasts with the landscape and “works beautifully with changing shadows and light conditions,” he notes. Here, wood framing sits beneath a dramatic and ethereal undulating cast-concrete roof, creating a curved form on all four sides informed by the nearby mountains that almost touches the surrounding reflective pond, making it “appear to defy gravity, as if being held in suspension by a divine power,” Steyn adds, and then reaches back toward the sky as it frames the picturesque countryside. For a dramatic arrival, guests walk over a path above the water, and once inside, muted earth tones, terrazzo floors, and simple wooden benches act as a tranquil backdrop for the exposed cross-shaped frames, one of which is stationed behind the golden pulpit, offering a modern take on the traditional crucifix.
