Clean architectural lines with a warmth and Zen like ambiance.

Several bodies of water, including Koi ponds, water features, and a rim flow swimming pool appear to coalesce into one and flow through the house and out into the forest.

Zimbali Coastal Resort is situated in a lush sub-tropical coastal forest on the KwaZulu-Natal North Coast, and overlooks miles of pristine deserted beaches, and the warm Indian Ocean.

Zimbali - "The Valley of Flowers" in Zulu, is richly endowed with the beauty of abundant indigenous fauna and flora including over 200 species of birds, Bushbuck, Blue Duiker, Vervet monkeys, and Banded Mongoose.

Nestled in the Forest and beside the 5-star golf course are magnificent, ecologically designed homes with an unprecedented level of luxury.

Significantly influenced by traditional Japanese architecture, and Falling water, this masterpiece, primarily with regard to the interpenetration of exterior and interior spaces and the strong emphasis placed on harmony between man and nature.

A large amount of glazing optimizes views of the indigenous bush that encapsulate the house, and together with the palette of raw materials including natural timber, grey travertine cladding, water, and natural stone cladding, dissolve the separation between inside and outside. Water is a primary component in this home.

The house is entered over water with a timber bridge spanning across the Koi pond into the double volume entrance hall, which is itself an island surrounded by glass panels through which the Koi pond is viewed.

The Koi can alternatively be viewed through a glazed slot in the floor of the kitchen, as the Koi pond which appears at the front and back of the home is linked with a tunnel under the house, through which the fish can traverse.

A sensually home-rich experience, with its palette of carefully considered natural finishes, the sound of falling water, and connection with nature including vistas of indigenous forest, fresh breezes, and bird calls, which all transport the resident t an experiential paradise of peace and tranquility and a sense of well-being.
