The Penthouse Residence
It’s the pride and joy of the 236 Buitengracht… aptly named the Skypad, this sensational double-storey penthouse has been widely considered one of Cape Town’s most exclusive residencies in the city, and while the home is considered to be the “entire building” – the penthouse has most certainly received its own critical acclaim – for its contemporary design, its mass voids of open spaces which have been decorated with exposed metal gantries, raw concrete walls, ceilings and of course the extraordinary windows placement and design, ensuring the perfect lighting and temperature control is provided all year round!
Finished with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and scullery, a large study, the open-plan dining room, lounges & multiple entertainment areas, it’s now easy to see how effective indoor/outdoor living can be! It’s a remarkable home, and we look forward to sharing more of this incredible space with you!

And with it’s protected views of Cape Town City, Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, Signal Hill and the beautiful Bo Kaap, it means a complete 360-degree experience will always be yours to enjoy no matter where you are inside this cleverly designed and very well constructed building – which was built entirely with poured concrete, already an art in itself, this home truly represents what happens when art and architecture become one!
