DETAILS
DESIGN PROCESS
At over 1500sqm under roof, this new residence is situated on a consolidated stand of 1660 sqm, on the waterfront of this beautiful estate. It was important to have views to the west overlooking the Rynfield Dam but also ensuring that the home was protected from the harsh setting sun.
This home accommodates 10 garages, a basement level for entertainment, and 5 en-suite bedrooms. The open plan living on the ground floor prompted the design to have a top-heavy feel where these heavy elements would float on top of thin steel columns. To maximise the north winter sun, an open courtyard was introduced to allow as much light as possible into this large home. This house boasts the latest in solar and inverter technologies, as well as a state of the art home automation system that runs the entire home.
Along with an underground water storage facility, electrical and water load shedding does not affect the occupants of this home for up to 5 days. It is a the ultimate modern, semi off-the-grid home, set in a magnificent estate which amplifies it’s beauty and function.
