The Hazendal Hotel: Sculpted Arches in the Cape Winelands

Shaped by Precision and Form

A sequence of sweeping arches defines The Hazendal Hotel, giving the building its distinct architectural character. Set within a historic wine estate, the hotel sits quietly within the calm, expansive landscape of the region.

Citra was commissioned to construct the hotel’s curved arches, delivering the precision needed to realise such a striking and consistently repeated form.

Arches Shaping a Calm Presence in the Cape Winelands

Architecture Defined by Its Arches

The Hazendal Hotel’s identity is shaped by its sweeping, unified arches, which create a bold yet refined architectural expression. The geometry gives the building a distinctive silhouette within the Winelands, balancing sculptural ambition with a calm, grounded presence.

Curvature Realised Through Precision

Realising the hotel’s complex curvature required a construction approach capable of maintaining consistent accuracy across every arch. The result is a series of arches that feel intentional, precise, and integral to the building’s architectural character.

Enabled by Citra Building Technology

Get in Touch

Citra’s system gives architects greater freedom to explore form, enabling geometries that are difficult or labour‑intensive to achieve with traditional methods. At Hazendal, the repeated arches demonstrate how the system can deliver controlled, sculptural forms with dependable structural performance. The system’s efficient use of materials also reduces construction waste, supporting more responsible building practices.
