The ADMIRALS RESIDENCE is making life work …
What began as a tribute to Admiral Oblowitz, who set this grand example of cape dutch revival architecture over a century ago has become something more: Architecture for the artist’s way of life.
Here “making life work” is how we inspire our team. We believe in approaching everything with identical passion – art, food, surfing – reaching to its essence. Perspective and belonging in life slowly becomes a habit originating in the manner of 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 purpose – and we do it on convivial terms.
… This is where we make life work – with you.
Architecture formed by intentional engagement …
What began with drawing, studying tide charts alongside wind forecasts has become a living ecosystem for creative experiments on life. The ADMIRALS RESIDENCE is a studio, a gallery, and sanctuary for the Artist Mindset.
Everything we offer is laced with intimacy, integrity, and an invitation to belong.
This is not just hospitality – we’re hosting with meaning.

ADMIRALS GRANT
an artist-led platform for sustained research and production, grounded in the belief that intent of artistic work is shaped as much by its conditions as by the nature of its media. Operating within shared discourse alongside parallel studio practices and domestic space, the residency establishes a structured yet responsive environment in which time, attention, and material can be held in continuity.
