This home, built in just over a year, embodies all that is exciting, inspiring and uplifting about living in South Africa.
The clean-lined geometric facade of this contemporary home speaks the same language as its straightforward interior, with both expressing a purity of line and a modern aesthetic, as envisioned by designer Wynand Coetzee of Gotz Consulting and Interiors, and architect Rudolph van der Meulen of Nico van der Meulen Architects.
According to Rudolph, the most important design objectives were the views over the nature reserve, sun orientation and privacy. “The open space to the south of the site naturally created problems in terms of the orientation versus the views. But by moving the building south on the site, the home still enjoys the views of the nature reserve without looking into adjacent properties,” he says.
With everything that one needs to enjoy the pleasures in life, as well as the calm serenity of the outdoors, this is indeed a home full of soul.
