Ilkley Cape Town luxury apartments in Sea Point
Two Of Africa’s Most Iconic Properties, Designed And Built By Leading Celebrity Designers, Now Available For Purchase
‘Ilkley’ offers bespoke architecture and aesthetics from 3x African Designers of the Year KLûK CGDT, who have dressed Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Beyoncé, Shakira.
Two of South Africa’s most visually iconic properties, and the bespoke creation of celebrity fashion house KLûK CGDT, are now available for purchase through London-based Montague Real Estate.
Ilkley, located near the coast of Cape Town’s exclusive Atlantic Seaboard, comprises two three-bedroom luxury apartments, with panoramic views extending over both the Atlantic Ocean and the natural beauty of mountainous Signal Hill.
Built in 2018, every aspect of the modern, brutalist properties – from the kitten white walls to the bespoke terracotta tiles – has been designed by couple Malcolm Kluk and Christiaan Gabriel du Toit, the founders and creative force behind the international award-winning fashion house KLûK CGDT.
Arguably Africa’s most established designer pair, Kluk, who apprenticed under John Galliano, and du Toit have had their designs worn by the likes of Naomi Campbell, Beyoncé, Shakira and Kate Moss.
Three times African Designers of the Year winners, their works have also featured in the likes of American Vogue, Elle, French Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Spruce, I-D and Dazed.
The Ilkley development, which was Kluk and du Toit’s first property addition to their design portfolio, is priced at ZAR 17.5m (£765,000) for Ilkley 1 and ZAR 22.5m (£983,000) for upper floor apartment Ilkley 2.
With each property featuring three en-suite bedrooms, the apartments also offer air-conditioned ocean and mountain views, a private garden, a wood burning fireplace and a seamlessly linked entrance hall and dining room.
Residents will also be able to enjoy state-of-the-art plug-and-play home automation systems, an expansive terrace and an ocean or Signal Hill nature-reserve facing swimming pool.
The environmental impact of the apartments was a major consideration during the design process; as such, the pools are equipped with chemical-free filtration systems, whilst all the LED lighting is automated and water is supplied via efficient heat pumps.
The orientation of the house is also designed to minimise heat loss in winter and to provide shade in the summer. The use of coffered slabs reduces the carbon footprint by using less concrete in the build.
Both apartments are also complimented by secure, undercover, off-street parking in a naturally ventilated landscape garage and elevators to all levels.
The sale of the properties is being facilitated by London-based Montague Real Estate, a boutique real estate firm and private office specialising in complex global property investments and acquisitions.
Following recent international expansion, the facilitation of the sale represents Montague Real Estate’s first venture into the African luxury residential property market, with further projects in the pipeline for later this year.
Malcolm Kluk, co-founder of KLûK CGDT, said:
“We’re really happy to be working with Montague Real Estate with their first project in Africa. These properties will offer a discerning buyer both style and substance, with the best that beautiful Cape Town has to offer.”
Thomas Balashev, Founder and CEO of Montague Real Estate, said:
“Ilkley is a truly unique development, the creation of Africa’s most exciting design talent, and a fantastic entrance for us to the South African market.
“Opportunities to work with properties and designers of this pedigree are so rare, so we are naturally delighted to be able to facilitate the sale of what is KLûK CGDT’s iconic vision in property form.”
