A. INTRODUCTION The purpose of these guidelines is to provide architect and property owners with a framework within which individual property can be designed and constructed resulting in an integrated and harmonious unique and contemporary West coast village.

Building composition should resemble a “werf” consisting of a single or double story main building that is expressed as a core pitched roof structure with abutments and or freestanding structure forming additional space and sheltered courtyard. 1.2. There is a sense of informality and plasticity which have resulted from asymmetrical placement of windows, doors and generally simple forms of the buildings which is further enhanced by buttresses and solid build-in seats against outside walls and the large traditional outside fireplaces with baking ovens and rural elements together with pergolas covered with “latjies”, vines and creepers creating a warm and homely environment. 1.3. No Victorian cast column and establishment of other style will be permitted. 1.4. Only elements, which form part of the west coast architectural style, shall be permitted. 1.5. Maximum floor area of the first core building shall be as stipulated in the chart below after which additional accommodation shall be added in the form of abutment structures to the core building up to a maximum floor area of the abutments after which another core building shall be formed etc. (See table on next page) 1.6.
