It is identified by it's symmetrical front elevation and a central gable with intricately designed curved parapets.

2007 HOUSE MALTMAN
Designed by Beverley Hui Architects, house Maltman was completed in 2007 on top Golf Estate De Zalze in Stellenbosch. The house was in an L shaped floor plan, with one side accommodating a double volume living area, while the other wing housed the bedrooms. The trusses in the living area are a unique feature of the house, and the home was carefully lit to achieve a modern architectural expression, and highlighting the shear glass, long lines and other modern elements of this residential building.
