Structural Drama
The Cantilevered Plane
Inspired by the granite overhangs of the mountain, the bold, off-shutter concrete roof slabs appear to float, pushing the living space out into the sky.
The Art of The Horizon
Structural innovation meets tranquil seclusion
House 23 at Kerzner Estate is designed by Metropolis Design on Sol Kerzner's private Leeukoppie estate, perched between Hout Bay and Llandudno.

Design Philosophy
The Architecture of the Air
The design of House 23 is a dialogue between the heavy and the ethereal.
Dual-Aspect Views
The Invisible Boundary
Floor-to-ceiling glass allows the interior to dissolve. You don't just inhabit a room; you inhabit the view of the Atlantic and the silhouette of Constantia Berg and Chapman's Peak.
Material Palette
Organic Brutalism
By utilising a palette of raw concrete, natural stone, and timber, Metropolis Design has ensured that House 23 feels less like a building and more like a natural outcrop of the Leeukoppie ridge.
The Legacy
The architectural heir to a global legacy
Sol Kerzner didn't just build luxury; he invented it. Known globally as the ‘Sun King,’ Sol was a man who believed that a destination should be more than a stay — it should be an assault on the senses, a choreographed masterpiece of awe.
Where others saw a barren crater in the North West, he saw Sun City and The Palace of the Lost City. Where others saw a flat island in the Bahamas, he saw the rising spires of Atlantis. From The Beverly Hills — the first five-star hotel in South Africa — to the ultra-refined seclusion of One & Only resorts worldwide, Sol's career was a relentless pursuit of the edge of the world.
He understood a fundamental truth that many architects miss: True luxury is not about what you put into a building, but the feeling you have when you look out from it. For five decades, Sol curated the world's most spectacular views for others. But for himself, he chose only one place.
His private 10-hectare estate at Leeukoppie — perched on the saddle between Hout Bay and Llandudno — was his personal sanctuary. Here, amidst the ancient granite and wild fynbos, he lived within the very ‘Art of the Horizon’ that he spent his life chasing.
Today, this storied ground serves as the canvas for House 23. Designed by the visionaries at Metropolis Design, it is the architectural heir to Sol's original ambition — a home that takes the grand lessons of a global legacy and distils them into a single, private masterpiece.
