“The customers who lived in an existing home on the property necessary to rebuild the property in order to suit the demands of their household. The web site on Glen Avenue in Higgovale faces in a Northerly path, with its boundaries on the South East. Though the wind situations are tough, the site’s moderate slope permits the style to engage with different levels of the garden adjacent to the locations of the 3 level lounge.
The client appointed SAOTA – Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects to total the design and style of a new home. The clientele bravely followed their architect’s guidance to see the bigger picture and re-begin on a clean slate. The new home was to respond to the website and garden closely, to allow adequate space for the family’s diverse specifications – while produce separate private spaces inside the property, and respond to the fierce winds which seasonally hurtle down Table Mountain however supply a relaxed, homely character in the spirit of Higgovale. The clientele chosen to proceed with the Design and style Improvement and project construction with Three14 Architects. The principal objectives in the design and style strategy was to screen the heart of the residence from the South Easterly and produce big semi-enclosed gardens which allow the 2 decrease levels of the residence to seamlessly connect to garden and terraces at all occasions.
SAOTA relied on robust uncluttered finishes of off-shutter concrete for soffits and a variety of walls, painted bagged brickwork, specialized polished concrete topping and oak cabinetry and ceilings. To amplify the sense of openness of the rooms and the gardens, the living rooms have large openings of sliding aluminium doors – this openness is further enhanced by glass handrails to effectively blur the boundaries of interior and exterior. The kitchen remains the focus of the first floor location, and the principal outdoor braai terrace is a generous layout with outside sitting and dining places. The upper level of the residence – to which one particular approaches on arrival at the home – accommodates four en-suite bedrooms with great views and a huge study / library area. The garage screens the courtyards from the street.”
