Baronetcy Estate spec
Baronetcy’s architectural guidelines control almost everything you can see from the street. What happens behind all that glass is still yours to specify.
The Baronetcy brief
Baronetcy Estate runs on a stringent set of architectural and landscaping guidelines — the reason its homes read as one confident, uber-modern language rather than a mismatched street. Within that language there’s real room for creative freedom, and it usually shows up as glass: open-plan living, floor-to-ceiling frameless panels, double-volume voids that pull the ocean, Table Mountain and Robben Island straight into the room.
We treat that glass-first brief as the starting point for the shading spec, not an afterthought bolted on once the build is signed off. Every opening gets measured and specified for its own orientation, height and reach — and, where a product changes the facade, documented to the standard an estate architectural committee expects to see.
The collection
Twelve ways to shade a house that’s mostly glass
Baronetcy’s open-plan brief means more glass, taller volumes and fewer places for a standard blind to hide. This is the full range we fit, made to measure for whichever orientation, height and reach your home actually has.

In the home
Olive, ivory and rust against poured concrete and glass
Every fabric and finish here is drawn to sit against Baronetcy’s own material language — render, stone and glass — not picked off a generic swatch card.
Built for Baronetcy Estate
The house is engineered to show you the view. Someone still has to manage what the view lets in.
- 01
Architecture leads, we specify around it
Baronetcy’s architectural and landscaping guidelines are strict enough to keep every home reading as one confident, uber-modern language — open-plan, glass-first, some carrying a named architect’s signature. We treat that brief as the starting point for the shading spec, not a constraint to work around.
- 02
The view is why the glass runs hot
Cape Town sits at roughly 34°S, where the midday sun tracks the northern sky and swings low and hard from the west through late afternoon — calculated from the city’s latitude, not a quoted figure. Baronetcy’s big glass panels are built to face the ocean, Table Mountain and Robben Island, which on most stands means facing a fair share of that afternoon sun too.
- 03
Exterior products expect a sign-off
Anything that changes the facade — external venetians, a folding-arm awning — sits inside the estate’s architectural control. We specify clean, estate-appropriate finishes as standard and supply the documentation most approval processes ask for; final sign-off always sits with the estate, not with us.
- 04
Double-volume glass wants a motor, not a wand
Open-plan voids and stairwell glazing put windows well out of hand-reach. With 24-hour manned security already covering the perimeter, the safety question indoors is a simple one — cordless, motorised operation with nothing dangling within a child’s reach.
Scroll — the roofline draws, the sun arcs west, and the tall bay’s external louvre answers it.

Questions
Honest answers before you commit
Will external shading suit Baronetcy’s architectural guidelines?
Yes — we specify clean profiles and finishes that sit comfortably with the estate’s uber-modern material palette, and supply the product documentation most architectural committees ask owners to submit before work starts.
What’s the real fix for glass that overheats every afternoon?
In order of impact: exterior shading — external venetians or an awning — stops the heat before it reaches the glass; a sunscreen roller indoors cuts glare and UV while keeping the view; and automation makes sure it happens on schedule whether you’re home or not.
Do exterior products need estate approval before we order?
We’re not your architectural committee, so we can’t give final sign-off ourselves. We specify estate-appropriate finishes as standard and hand over the documentation most approval processes want to see — confirm the exact requirement with Baronetcy’s estate office at the measure.
Is motorisation worth it for one window, or just the ones I can’t reach?
On one reachable window it’s a comfort upgrade. On a stairwell void, a double-volume wall or a concealed ceiling-recess system, it’s the difference between blinds you actually use every day and blinds you don’t.
Are your blinds safe for small children?
Yes, on every corded or chained product. Cord and chain tensioners are standard on every install, and for nurseries or playrooms we recommend cordless or motorised control — nothing left dangling within reach.
What does the free measure and quote actually cost?
Nothing. The measure, the fabric and slat samples, the consultation and the written per-window quote are all free, with no obligation to order.
