Steel and timber was combined for the structure of this thatched roof. The design focused on maximizing the sea front view, whilst protecting from the elements.
Architect: SAOTA
Construction: JNA Thatchers


JNA Thatchers' skilful execution protected this oceanfront property from harsh coastal elements while preserving uninterrupted sea views. The curved thatch roofline follows SAOTA's architectural vision, requiring specialised installation techniques to achieve smooth transitions over steel framing. Premium Cape reed thatching provides natural weather resistance against salt spray and strong winds common in coastal locations. This project exemplifies how expert thatch roofing services can enhance contemporary design while delivering practical protection. The combination of traditional materials with modern construction methods creates lasting durability in challenging environmental conditions.


JNA Thatchers masterfully integrated traditional thatching techniques with contemporary steel and timber construction in this striking kitchen space. The exposed thatch ceiling creates natural insulation while maintaining the authentic character of Cape vernacular architecture. Steel framework provides structural integrity, allowing for expansive open-plan living without compromising the integrity of the thatched roof system. This innovative approach demonstrates how professional thatching services can adapt heritage craftsmanship to modern architectural demands, delivering both thermal efficiency and visual impact.
The seamless integration of thatch roofing with modern glass facades showcases JNA Thatchers' expertise in complex residential projects. Steel structural elements support the traditional reed thatch while enabling panoramic ocean views through floor-to-ceiling windows. This challenging construction required precise coordination between thatching installation and contemporary building systems. The result maximises natural light penetration while the thatch provides superior weather protection and temperature regulation. Professional thatch contractors understand how to balance traditional materials with modern performance requirements in coastal environments.
