Studious Architects, Henning Construction & 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.

Alive Architects & Victor Projects

This house design was executed as a composite block design that allows for maximum light and ventilation of approximately 520m², making full use of the inside-outside styled living that we are all used to in South Africa. The use of steel beams has been a main drive in the aesthetic structure of the facades along with huge panes of glazing.

Riaan Steyn Architects & Kwandisa Construction

This 710m² proposed show house is inspired by the South African Highveld. The North facing orientation around which the home was designed allows the entire structure to be flooded with natural light. The building's placement on site, opens up the garden and in turn, the entire home opens up through sliding glass elements in order to live out onto the garden.

6 Steps to Planning a Successful Building Project

There’s a strong temptation to dive straight into the construction of your new home. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll be done, right? Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way if you haven’t done some essential planning up front to ensure that your home will match your vision in the end. Here are six crucial steps to help you plan for a successful home build, and the reasons they're so important for any project.

1. Choose a design professional

To create a plan and detailed scope of work, most people hire either an architect or interior designer, and sometimes both. Every company does things a little differently, many designers will offer advice on structural work as well as assistance with material and color selections. Architects may take on a wide range of work, or work only on floor plans and approvals, and leave the details of the electrical plan, baths and kitchen to another designer. Selecting a design professional usually starts with an in-person meeting, which can take a few weeks depending on how many companies you are interviewing. This is your opportunity to understand the services that each firm offers and make sure they match up with what you are expecting. It’s also critical that you have a budget for your project in mind that you communicate clearly to the firm you hire, so the design can align with what you are planning to invest.
