This development comprises an eighteen hole golf course, 400 housing units, a hotel, a clubhouse, lodge and associated amenities. The vision for the development, including the neighbouring Spier Estate, was to create a sustainable ‘micro-ecology’ which enhances heritage and culture, generates wealth for all stake-holders, helps meet social and economic needs, and provides the infrastructure to encourage new, community-oriented lifestyles.
The architectural philosophy behind the overall layout of the development and the detailed design guidelines of individual structures is to create a unique village atmosphere.
Drawing inspiration from small European towns and from the rich architectural tradition of Stellenbosch itself, the mastery of the development plan lies in its balance between public and private spaces, between individuality and convention, between intimacy and community.
An important consideration in the planning and design of De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate was to ensure that, when the project is fully developed, the visual impact of the land would be in harmony with the landscape thereby creating an ‘environmental character’ which would reflect the cultural & historical heritage of the Winelands.
