Studious Architects & Lock Development

The Conservatory Home - living in and around nature with open green areas surrounding the stand, indoor garden, all part of a way of living. The Conservatory Home became a house where we could experiment with aggressive, “out-there ideas”, and establish an architectural language by means of function, materials, construction methods and details.

MTWA Architecture & Capricorn Civils

A house set on one of the highest points of The Hills landscape. A site opening up to a green belt meant that one had to be aware of the exposure that the house has both on the entrance and entertainment areas. The open plan layout has the dining and lounging areas freely opening up to the exterior thus connecting to the visually in-flowing landscapes.

Draw Box Design Studio Architects & Bobtons Construction

Born from the ground the concept of the 410m² Hill House was conceived as a contextual response to the 820m² site. The design intent was to explode the boundary between nature and house. Planted roof terraces carry the natural landscape through the fragmented store-like structures reminiscent of a typical vernacular farm compound, so often found in the Highveld landscape.

Urban concept Architects & C.J. van der Merwe Building Contractors

The inspiration for this 670m² house was traditional Highveld farmhouses, which dates back to the early 1900s, within a composite block design which includes various simple barn and or tower structures linked by modern glass and concrete structures; the verandas are treated as a link between the roofs and the main structure.

Urbanstone Architecture & Bluecube Construction

Great South African climate living spaces. Live permanently on a covered patio and allow the magnificent view to be absorbed into every part of the living spaces. The goal was to achieve a 315m² house that will feel like a 400m² home. We were very careful not to have too many wasted spaces and areas that never get used.

Notice the unique design of the combination of modern with the farm style cottage, with an elemental experience. The large glass facades and stackable glass doors enhances the interconnectivity of the inside and outside, framing the serene environment of the estate. Low maintenance living is a key driver towards the house design.

Strey Architects & Humane Homes

Houses are made. Homes are created. The Hills 608 is elegantly perched atop the hill overlooking a valley of untamed green to the north and frames Pretoria's distant nightlight on the western horizon. As an extension of the hillside the structure gently arises from its landscape and curiously peeks onto the rest of the estate below.
