Iron Man House

Experience Iron Man House AKA Pengilly House in Cape Town

Iron Man House is located on Clifton’s Nettleton Ridge, one of the most affluent neighborhoods in Cape Town, if not the globe. Delivering the ultimate luxury experience, ideal for opulent occasions, private family reunions, or as a tranquil haven. This luxury Clifton Villa sleeps 12 people in six bedrooms. Iron Man House is perched high above the town, providing magnificent unimpeded views of Clifton’s beaches, the 12 Apostles mountain range, and the vast Atlantic Ocean below. Sea views and sunset skies become nearly an extension of the property.

Marvelous Modernity

Iron Man House is a masterpiece of architecture designed by Peerutin architects and inspired by the works of former American architect John Launtner found throughout the west coast of America. Launtner designed expansive, lateral concrete properties, many of which were perched on clifftops with breathtaking views. These homes frequently served as the backdrop for films, including Bond films and Iron Man’s home. Due to the size of the existing rock formations and to maximize the 270 degree views, this Peerutin project needed to be divided into two wings. Additionally, Iron Man House is divided into four levels, and the interior and outdoor areas are seamlessly integrated, creating an impression of bringing the outside in.

Highlights and Details

Ironn Man House is divided into a central living area, a spa, a theatre, a left wing, a pavilion for entertainment, and two pods. The various sections are connected via two elevators and a glass-floored passage. On the lower levels, there is a large garage, an indoor pool, and an office; on the upper levels, there are two disc-shaped entertainment spaces with raked glass windows. At the pinnacle of contemporary design, with minimal décor and accessories, each item in this home has been masterfully crafted or sourced from around the world. The owners added the finishing touches, furnishing and finishing the home with five materials they adore: smokey glass, copper, Brazilian rosewood, white terrazzo, and flamed Kalahari sandstone.
