CELEBRATING GEOMETRICS AND FORM, THIS CONTEMPORARY HOME EXCITES THE EYE

- HASMITA AMTHA

Boasting ample living space, this grand contemporary family home is situated within a secured golf and wildlife estate on the outskirts of Pretoria.

“Retaining the investment value of the property, the plot is situated in a secure estate within a nature reserve. Orientation of the site was north-facing with a west entry, ensuring full maximisation of the northern and southern façade,” says the owner.

This multilevel house has been designed with privacy in mind. Using a half-horseshoe shape, the architecture allows all the living and entertainment spaces to directly relate to a large courtyard. The use of steel, aluminium fenestrations, glass and cladding make the design cutting-edge and striking in its appeal.

Tasked with providing a lighting solution to a multilevel contemporary home, Afro Architectural, a specialist in bespoke residential and commercial architecture, interior design and lighting, exceeded the home owner’s brief, ensuring innovative and imaginative modern lighting was achieved. Care was given to create a seamless link to the elements used such as steel, glass and natural stone.
