"Having a wishing list that’s off the charts, for a dream home out of this world, means you need a very special builder! But it started off by standing on a dune with André and having someone understanding your dream – not only for your house, but also for Paternoster...

Building right on the sea front where serious foundations are needed, requires applied engineering specifications. Add large open spaces and huge frameless glass doors without load bearing walls and the technical detail for the builder multiplies. Again, a very special builder is need to make the dreams become a reality.

Invariably, converting the plan during construction requires finding solutions for unforeseen challenges, adapting specifications to work, or look better. Changes and adaptations were made on the go, and all to deliver a better result. A dream house needs finicky finishing and attention to detail.

And then perhaps most of all dealing with an woman that has “pictures in her head” that have to be manifested in bricks and mortar, requires a special kind of tenacity.

Anker Builder’s Andre and Hannes and their team were the special builders that we needed! And for a time we were blessed to have Andre junior to be part of the team – he will always part of the energy of our house."
