The housing stock
What we are usually working with
Duynefontein and the Atlantic Beach golf estate are newer, largely architect-designed homes on open, wind-exposed ground north of Melkbos. Design guidelines here are detailed and enforced, covering everything from roof pitch and colour to boundary treatment and landscaping.
The local catch
Exposure with nothing to hide behind
There is very little natural shelter on this stretch. Wind loading on roofs, doors and glazing is genuinely higher than a few kilometres inland, and salt deposition is constant. Everything external gets specified up: fixings, glazing systems, gate hardware, even door furniture. It costs more once and saves replacing things every three years.
