There is something quite special about transforming an unused and forgotten space into something useful. The former ceiling void has been transmuted into a warm and light bedroom loft – high above the sounds of traffic, and closer to the clouds that brush Paarl rock. The imported Velux skylights are double-glazed to make sure the room remains temperate with the golden West-facing sunsets. The skylights also pivot to allow warm air to circulate and escape, thus offering seasonal benefits. The rustic portal windows offer charming peephole views of the mesmerising Cape Winelands.
