SA Building Review
|Volume 14 2026
Created for a young couple of medical professionals and their children, this Durban home is more than a residence - it's a retreat.
This home was designed as the main residence for a young couple of medical professionals and their children – a family whose busy careers required a sanctuary that balances calm, comfort, and practicality.
The architecture needed to directly reflect their lifestyle: restorative yet practical, family-oriented yet refined.
Set on a gentle slope overlooking a conservation area, the site itself influenced the design. The natural buffer not only shields the home from prevailing winds but also frames uninterrupted views of the biodiverse landscape.
