Silhouettes, symmetry and sophistication
House Nour courageously works alongside nature’s delicate ecosystem, ensuring its contemporary villa spaces live in harmony with Constantia’s calming landscape.
It’s completely apparent that this showstopper of a Constantia home was built for beautiful things. Beautiful people to saunter through its voluminous spaces, draped in beautiful attire. Beautiful pieces of furniture, artwork, materials, gadgets and sentimental goodies to occupy its lavish living, dining, cooking, reclining and entertaining areas. It’s a beautiful location, for unique, luxury shoots in South Africa. Where the clean air that wafts down from the mountain only adds to the inspiration. It’s evident in every aspect of House Nour, that beautiful things belong here. It’s an architectural icon for film & photography shoots in Cape Town.
Serenely settled at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac, neighbouring Constantia’s greenbelt, this exceptional residence – conceptualised and built by Stefan Antoni – marks the very first SAOTA-designed home in the Southern Suburbs. A true landmark of contemporary South African architecture, it is layered in luxury, personality, and cinematic potential.
Engineered to world-class Belgian standards, the home is completely off-grid, with a sophisticated cooling system and thermally insulated. Even the swimming pool benefits from advanced insulation technology. Schüco windows and sliding doors were installed to ensure the relationship with the natural environment is harnessed. Keeping the home at the perfect temperature, all year round. Making it a sought-after location for film productions and luxury brand photography in South Africa.
The interiors are a bold statement on more of those beautiful things. A Bulthaup kitchen, a curated Roche Bobois Hero Collection, and Bang & Olufsen surround sound in the living area. Ideal for both entertaining and high-end location shoots. The lighting has been so cleverly considered and designed, the space is transformed into a visual masterpiece at night.
A state-of-the-art office accommodates production teams with six dedicated workstations. All six luxurious bedrooms and a guest cottage provide generous on-site team collaboration, away from the action. The layout of the double-storey home, its high-end materials and angular areas of light and shadows, create the perfect canvas for scenic and stylish film and photography shoots.
Its linear and geometric perfection allows for spectacular cinematic concepts. The beautiful garden, and the generous space around the spectacular swimming pool, House Nour echoes the ambience of a private game reserve. Escorting you around an indigenous landscape, that’s integral to the home’s philosophy. Even the frogs declare their rightful proprietorship of the pond with their evening chorus.
