South African practice Antonio Zaninovic Architecture Studio has overhauled a 1960s house in Cape Town with designer Tara Bean, adding outdoor areas to make the most of its ocean views. The Cape Town studio, founded by Chilean architect Antonio Zaninovic, and local designer Bean spent two years renovating the run-down, mid-century property.

The team worked around the rocky site and added two terraces into the hillside, making an eight-metre descent to a new outdoor swimming pool easier. These patios provide areas to lounge and eat outside alongside the home's entrance, which is covered by an overhanging roof lined with thatch on its underside. An eclectic mix of designs from all over Africa features across the project, including a grass rug from Swaziland with a red Berber rug from Morocco layered on top in the sitting area.

In the dining room are black, wood chairs by mid-century South African designer E E Meyer, paired with similarly dark, woven light fixtures by Dutch studio Ay Illuminate, and a painting by local artist Michael Taylor. Icaria House has five bedrooms, all of which have en-suite bathrooms and balconies.
