Manor House

The Manor House as Franschhoek accommodation has a series of elegant dining and meeting rooms. Upstairs, in what was originally a storage barn, there is luxurious accommodation in two spacious and private suites. Outdoors, there’s a terrace and walled garden with lawns edged in iceberg roses and lavender, and beyond a citrus orchard and herb garden.

Artists and designers Emil and Gundel Sogor, who have been intimately involved in shaping many aspects of Allee Bleue’s unique identity since it was acquired by Elke and Wilfried Dauphin in 1999, were tasked with the ambitious restoration and decoration project. Throughout the process, they had to work very closely with the local heritage trust. The house’s original walls, plasterwork, wooden floors, sash windows, shutters and doors were either painstakingly repaired or replaced. The Sogors created a seamless, white-on-white shell with which to work, a blank canvas for their signature paint effects and Emile’s striking art.

An impressive collection of antique furniture, bought by the owners on auction in Cape Town over 10 years ago, informed the layout and design of the four main reception rooms. Enormous, handcrafted armoires, some featuring intricate inlays and decorative carvings, are a focal point in each room.

The antiques are complemented by ultra-modern pieces sourced from Dauphin Design in Germany and Weylandt Interiors in Cape Town. For Elke Dauphin, the aesthetic balance of contradictory factors in the interiors – antique and modern, new and old – is an important element. In one of the rooms, a handcrafted dining room table by Cape Town-based Pierre Cronje is successfully paired with sleek, contemporary white leather dining chairs from Weylandt Interiors.

Colour is an important thread running through the house, as is exquisite, often dramatic lighting and Italian-influenced paint effects. Paintings by Emil Sogor – like intricate storyboards referencing specific historic themes – and handpicked reproductions of artist and engineer Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings, further enhance and inform the character and provenance of each room.
