On the ridge of Bishopscourt in Cape Town the Montrose projects has been built, designed by Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects, SAOTA.

Their clients' preference was a modernist environment with a definitive northern European flair. Light grey granite floor slabs were used, together with a color palette of cool greys.

The house has a double-winged roof which seems to float over the outer walls and living rooms with large windows as walls, which allows the panoramic vistas to be seen from inside the house.
