Glen Villa is located on a tree-lined site under the Mountain Table in Cape Town. In order to enhance the connection between the building and the natural and urban landscape, ARRCC undertook the expansion project to integrate with the existing building originally designed by Antonio Zaninovic. The later part includes a new garden pavilion. One bedroom on the top floor expands on the master bedroom and a wine cellar as well as a wide terrace style lawn.

ARRCC's primary task was to consider the organic relationship between modern, simple architectural forms and natural hillsides. ARRCC Director Jon Case said: "Introducing the natural energy of Table Mountain in an urban environment inspired us to create an 'urban resort'. The pavilion design approach continues the language of the main building, focusing on the character of its original materials, and re-uses units such as chamfered eaves and floor-to-ceiling glass doors to shape a unique environmental experience.

One end of the new building blends into the landscape, while the other cantilevers from a rocky slope. A walkway connects the pavilion to the main house, whose design is the result of ARRCC's collaboration with local artisans who use raw materials as a medium to showcase the beauty and sheer form of nature and transform it into a unique luxury item. At the same time, the atmosphere of African minimalism and the tone of raw concrete ceilings and rough-hewn stone walls maintain an active dialogue and interaction in the space.

Smooth stone, cable-colored wood, brushed or painted metal are layered on top of the exterior, adding complexity and sophistication to the gritty and earthy tones. The combination of gorgeous furnishings and emotional elements reflects ARRCC's iconic "luxury" concept. The interior's bespoke furniture combines serene elegance with sculptural, functional and timeless qualities, while richly textured wood, leather, fur and textiles are designed to echo the surrounding natural landscape.
