Down to earth The Gomes family s dream of living more in tune with the land and themselves has been fulfilled at Jardim, their food garden and contemporary country home in Noordhoek, Cape Town.
The view from the kitchen takes in the mountain, garden ‒ where so much of the action at Jardim happens ‒ and pool. Architect Alex Stewart intentionally created a space that had the garden visible from every angle. The vaulted ceiling is a nod to country barns without being too overtly rustic while the window above the sliding doors was placed to let the afternoon light stream into the living room and take in the view of the Noordhoek mountains.
