Slower Rhythm in Upper Sea Point:
This new development offers a private mountain-seascape where elevation and ultra-modernist design converge in 3 secure residences. Sculpted for those with a taste for turnkey living, it delivers an uncompromising location, considered architecture, and unforgettable views.
Designed for Presence:
Conceived by boutique firm Hours Clear Architects, St Ives’ design philosophy delivers 3 homes shaped by a confident and composed vision. Known for high-end residential work, the studio blends sculptural form, precise geometry, and contextual sensitivity.
Low-slung, the architecture steps with the mountainside: bold stacked horizontal planes, deep overhangs, and wrapped terraces framed by planters. A restrained palette of muted concrete greys and moody earth tones settles it into the landscape with indigenous planting, delicate groundcovers, and draping rooftop foliage.
The interior aesthetic aligns seamlessly with the brutalist architectural shell: full-height glazing, sensual curves, and low linear furniture forms create a hushed gallery-like canvas for daily living. A restrained palette of dark smoked-oak joinery, travertine counters, and polished concrete floors conveys subtle sophistication and material depth.
Three Ways of Living:
Across all 3 units, the common thread is intentionality – every design choice was made with a distinct way of living in mind. Accessed from the shared parking level, each residence has its own unique persona:
Residence I:
St Ives’ flagship home commands 2 levels with sweeping views over the crescent and Atlantic Ocean. A private lift opens directly into the open-plan living level where the kitchen, dining, and lounge flow together in one light-filled sweep. Beyond, a serene bedroom wing layers 3 en-suite bedrooms, with the main suite sea-facing. Its proportions are generous but never excessive – a balance of openness and refuge. An exclusive-use landscaped terrace with private swimming pool turns the rooftop of Residence I into a sky deck for entertaining and sunset living, framed by forever views.
Residence II:
Also reached via private lift, this refined 2-bedroom en-suite simplex offers an airy, open-plan dining, lounge, kitchen with separate scullery, and guest cloakroom. Here, a generous wrap-around terrace – lined with planters – folds around the main bedroom, its bathroom, and the lounge before meeting the dining area, giving this residence its signature indoor–outdoor corner. With unobstructed views of the crescent’s rose garden and the Atlantic Seaboard in the distance, you feel the architect’s hand – not in grand gestures, but in the invisible precision of good proportions and beautifully resolved flow.
Residence III:
Nature-focused, this vertically stacked townhouse features its own private garden. Configured over 3 levels, it presents 3 en-suite bedrooms on the first floor, flanked by a band of greenery – the main and third suites open out to secluded terraces, while the home’s garden has direct access from Suites One and Two. One floor up, the living level pulls together landing, lounge, kitchen, and dining area with its own balcony. An internal staircase leads to the rooftop terrace with copper-clad pool room and private swimming pool, completing the multilevel indoor–outdoor sequence from garden to sky.
St Ives is a composed piece of architecture, designed to belong here. This is less a development and more a continuation of a story – one held by the land, the community, and the thoughtful design that now gives that story a new beginning.
