Cape Town is a city that effortlessly incorporates its natural surroundings into its architecture, and Higgo Kloof Villa is a prime example of this. The villa, designed by architect Greg Truen, seamlessly blends into the rugged beauty of the mountainous landscape. The mountain and its ridges are incorporated into the villa's garden features, while the skies above become an extension of the ceilings. The ocean is reflected in the villa's swimming pool, and the wind flows through the open spaces like an old friend, signaling the mood of the weather. Despite its contemporary design, Cape Higgo Villa appears to have evolved naturally from the mountain itself.

The villa itself is a true architectural masterpiece that blends seamlessly with the surrounding wilderness. The villa spans three floors and features spacious living, dining, and entertaining areas, all designed in a modern, avant-garde aesthetic. The interior is adorned with signature artwork, contemporary furniture and mid-century antiques, all illuminated by custom lighting. The villa's linear spaces are brought to life by a variety of textures, including concrete without formwork, European oak, bronze and marble finishes, granite floors and Eastern Cape blue gum. Despite its imposing hillside presence, Cape Higgo Villa remains a peaceful retreat, hidden from the hustle and bustle of the city.
