Casa á Beiramar
Volume 13 2025
|SA Building Review
Casa a Beiramar, envisioned by Metropole Architects, is a 750m? modern four-bedroom home situated in the prestigious Simbithi Golf Estate on KwaZulu-Natal’s North Coast of South Africa.

The design philosophy revolves around a harmonious blend of modern aesthetics and the natural environment. The house is a bold testament to refined modernism, utilising materials like steel, glass, and concrete with meticulous detail. Clean lines juxtaposed with tactile elements such as timber and stone create a sophisticated yet understated ambience. Upon approach, the house commands attention, perched proudly on its site with a cantilevered form emphasising horizontality, making a distinct statement in the streetscape.
An elegant, gently sloping driveway leads from the estate road towards the home into a stylishly arranged driveway court adorned with polished aggregate concrete panels and strips of artificial turf, setting the stage for an aesthetically pleasing arrival experience. The public entrance façade is intentionally low-slung and minimalist, featuring a triple garage clad in horizontal slatted timber. This façade guides the eye towards a covered entrance walkway roof hovering over a porcelain tile-clad feature blade wall and the primary entry point to the home. A large pivot entrance door, clad in dark porcelain tile slabs, provides a secure transition into the private realm of the home.
