ARRCC has announced that its project, Winelands Villa, has been named the Popular Choice Winner in the Residential Interiors category at the 13th Annual Architizer A+Awards.

A Home that Connects Architecture to Landscape
Set amidst the scenic beauty of South Africa’s Cape Winelands, the villa is a celebration of proportion, light, and materiality. Compact in scale yet rich in character, Winelands Villa evokes an atmosphere of tranquil sophistication and intuitive spatial flow. Natural materials, sculptural forms, and tailored finishes all work together to form a quiet dialogue with the surrounding landscape.

Global Recognition for Local Craft
This project represents a deeply rooted in local context and crafted through close collaboration with South African artisans and fabricators. This recognition is a reflection of the trust and vision of our clients, whose openness and collaboration made it possible to bring this project to life, along with the shared dedication of the ARRCC team.
