#muizenberglovestories

We are lifestyle professionals creating in Muizenberg…

Welcome to The ADMIRALS RESIDENCE. A home for art, surf, food where life is shaped by tide and light. This is a lodge shaped by how we live.

Here, you’re invited to Draw from Life – to slow down, tune in and create from presence. Pop in for a surf session or a sourdough loaf. Stay for a season. Start a project. Apply for our Artist Residency. Co-live. Co-work. Collaborate.

Whether you’re a visiting artist, remote worker, surfer or seeker – The ADMIRALS RESIDENCE offers a home for slower life held by the sea, where living comes before rushing.

The ADMIRALS RESIDENCE is making life work …

At GH Studio, “making life work” isn’t a slogan, it’s how we live. We believe in approaching everything – art, food, surfing, hospitality – with identical passion originating in an Artist Mindset.

The ADMIRALS RESIDENCE is our shared home base. A place to stay, create, collaborate, or simply take a breath. Whether you’re here for a workshop, a quiet retreat, a small gathering or a long table celebration, we tailor the experience to fit your vision – and we do it personally.

What began as a tribute to the Admiral who built this house over a century ago has become something more:
A space where infrastructure meets imagination. A home for the artist’s way of life.

… This is where we make life work – with you.

A Collection formed by appropriate engagement …

What began with drawing, studying the human anatomy, tide charts alongside wind forecasts has become a living ecosystem for creative experiments on life. The GH STUDIO Foundation gives ‘Making life Work’ Form – The ADMIRALS RESIDENCE is a studio, a gallery, and sanctuary for the Artist Mindset fuelled by:
