Studio Sanctuary

At the foothills of Signal Hill, this sumptuous and contemporary studio in the heart of Cape Town’s Greenpoint neighbourhood is a design-lovers dream. With an earthy colour palette and Scandi-influenced furnishings, this home balances its natural surroundings with sleek and comforting finishes to create a relaxing base.

A modern and minimal theme runs throughout this light-flooded apartment – with a plush velvet sofa, slick metal furnishings and soft textiles that inspire you to unwind. The open-plan living space is the perfect spot for relaxing after a day exploring the galleries of De Waterkant and soaking up the local culture around Bo-Kaap. Start mornings with a dip in the rooftop pool before sipping your coffee and firing off some emails from the breakfast bar. On warm evenings, slide back the glass doors and enjoy a glass of Chenin Blanc overlooking the vibrant cityscape.

If you’re seeking a cultural excursion, you’ll be delighted that the Iziko South African Museum and Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum are only a short walk away. Head to the V&A Waterfront to explore the coffee bars, atmospheric eateries and upscale bars – the best part? It’s just a short walk from your apartment, so after a night sampling the city’s music scene, you can fall into your soft sheets within fifteen minutes.
