Originally Dutch explorer Jan van Riebeeck’s farm “Boscheuvel”, the Mother City’s most affluent suburb became “Bishops Court” in 1851 when it was purchased by Robert Gray, the first bishop of Cape Town. Now home to a small curation of staggering mountainside residences, modern-day Bishopscourt is a shaded sanctuary where serenity and safety reign.

As if bursting from the ground, the sky balancing on its shoulders, Table Mountain dominates every vista. Nature is a veritable resident in the home, more than just a mere feature. With Devil’s Peak and Skeleton Gorge waterfalls in plain sight underpinned by Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, you are engulfed by an artwork of dense foliage.
Here you’ll experience a world within a world. At last, home.

WORLD OF DESIGN: Embracing clean line geometry which creates a sense of order and structure, Villa Camphor’s design embodies the Modernist philosophy. A rational use of materials like glass, timber slats, stone and concrete brought to life through structural innovation and the elimination of fussy ornament culminates in an impressive yet soothing aesthetic. Feature wooden slats soften the façade adding warmth and sophistication to the homes while creating rhythm and subtle aesthetic volumes.

THE WORLD INSIDE: Window walls flood the interior with an abundance of natural light, unhindered views helping blur the line between outdoors and indoors, the feeling of open, airy elegance permeating every space.

With a refined, ordered pattern, the herringbone oak floors offer an interesting twist, adding timelessness and warmth to the interior. Exciting ultra-modern fixtures and fittings draw the eye, the sumptuous metallics paired perfectly with dark accent walls for a subtle sense of the dramatic. The interior design of Villa Camphor invites you to embark on a journey of personal discovery. Each space within becomes a sanctuary for meditation and self-reflection, where the blending of nature-inspired elements and timeless architecture creates an environment that is uniquely your own.
