Imbizo House is a holiday home set high in the hills above the picturesque fishing town of Knysna on South Africa’s Western Cape.
This three-bedroom home was commissioned by a South African client residing in the UK, seeking a second home to unite family from both countries. Designed with socialising at its core, the house features a layout of interconnected spaces conceived as a contemporary take on an imbizo—the Zulu word for a gathering. Referencing traditional African rituals, the home centres around a spacious open-plan living area, flanked by generous terraces, providing the perfect setting for gatherings of friends and family.
