The TinTin Cabin is located in the Kogelberg nature biosphere and is surrounded by fynbos. The use of metal sheeting, aluminium windows, a timber deck, and timber pergola fits seamlessly with its surroundings. The interior has been decorated with coral pinks and misty greens to compliment the exterior beach areas and fynbos. It has a kitchen, a cosy fireplace, an outdoor shower on the deck and a hammock for those lazy days of book reading.

This contemporary residential structure showcases premium roofing construction with dark metal sheeting that harmonises beautifully with the mountainous Western Cape landscape. The clean lines and angular roof design demonstrate sophisticated building techniques, while native vegetation in the foreground creates natural integration with the Kogelberg biosphere. JNA Group's roofing expertise is evident in the seamless installation and weather-resistant materials chosen for this challenging coastal environment.

Modern corrugated metal cladding defines this striking architectural form, featuring vertical ribbing that creates visual depth and texture. The dark metal exterior contrasts elegantly with timber pergola elements, showcasing the marriage of industrial materials with natural wood construction. Large windows punctuate the facade, while the clean geometric lines reflect contemporary building practices that prioritise both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity in coastal conditions.
