Developments In The Gemini – Higgovale

IN A WORLD OF ITS OWN:
Geometric shapes, clean lines, and open floor plans, offering distinctive interiors and unforgettable experiences, define this new uber-development at 47 Glen Crescent. The twin residences jettison the mere exclusive in favour of the realm of needful. Residing here requires free thinking. Personality. Spirit.

The Gemini – Higgovale has been conceived as a leading exemplar of sustainable design with its reclaimed timber, stone, and glass. Only the very best materials make the grade. Aesthetically connected by exquisite detailing and natural light, every space indulges the senses, all the while framed by the sweeping, staggering backdrop of Table Mountain.

Gerd Weideman Architects have surpassed their vision of cutting-edge architecture complimented by modern-day conveniences, delivering a singular interpretation of contemporary living.

The Gemini – Higgovale – undeniably a world of its own.

WITHIN REACH:
Sequestered in secreted Higgovale, this alluring development is enveloped by a natural haven of panoramic greenery. Properties here are more like hallowed sanctuaries, sheltered from the blazing African sun and City bustle, ever protected from prevailing south-easterly winds. Hovering above the City Bowl, this intimate suburb’s central position lends itself as ideal access to Cape Town’s multiverse of attractions. Here, harmony prevails.

WITHIN DESIGN:
The interior design integrates an appreciation of nature juxtaposed by decadent comforts and traditional craftsmanship. Constructed to house a lifetime of memories, scale and volume distinguish the interior spaces, the high-performance architecture creating exquisite tension with its curation of distinctive materials and features. Packed stone external finishes, timber pergolas, laser cut facade screens, glass balustrades, and the cobble driveway strike the perfect balance between functional and decorative.
