Exclusive Mandate: The Portal
Welcome to The Portal, a truly unique 1.5 bedroom apartment in the historic Overbeek building, positioned above one of Cape Town’s most iconic city intersections with views over the apex of Loop Street.
This is not a conventional city apartment. Designed by its owner as both a home and a creative expression of Cape Town, the interiors draw inspiration from New York loft living, African travel, the ocean and the history of the city.
The apartment is filled with distinctive architectural details and carefully considered features. Original and upcycled materials have been incorporated throughout.
One of its most striking features is the suspended carpet installation. When the owner first lived here, he would stand at the large windows looking towards the ocean and imagine a flying carpet carrying him down Long Street to the sea. That idea ultimately became part of the apartment’s design.
Large windows bring the city into the living space, creating a dramatic outlook across the CBD.
The accommodation comprises:
-1.5 bedrooms and one bathroom with a shower
-Open plan kitchen/dining/living room
-Spacious patio
-Built in cupboards with lots of storage
-Air-bnb friendly
-Pets allowed with approval of body corporate
