Located at the foot of a nature reserve in Bedfordview, Johannesburg, you will find this family-orientated home suitable for indoor/outdoor entertainment that maximizes the views to the north. This is a 1,100 sqm (12,000 sqft) sculptural piece of architecture that is an extreme transformation from the previously modest single storey.
With every room in the house opening outdoors, linking the home with the landscaped garden, indoor/outdoor living is guaranteed. From the street, the boldly-designed off-shutter boundary wall with black steel shapes creeping over predicts that this is no ordinary piece of architecture.
Steel, glass, and concrete are prominently and have been integrated into the design, from the boundary wall all the way to the interior. The angled steel roof of the entrance hall overhangs the double volume window and glass front door at the entrance, while the sculptural steel staircase is visible behind the window.
M Square Lifestyle Design translated the architectural concept into the interior design. Steel perforated panels and off-shutter concrete were amongst the elements used for the interior, while the design of the lighting compliments the bold forms of the home and defines the angles. Concrete, glass, and steel visually link the interior and exterior, smoothly integrating architecture and interior design.
