midrand, south africa as a response to the client's need
for an open plan,
airy spaces and a large study. the center of the house is based around a
rectangular mass housing the public functions:
living rooms, dining room and
kitchen flanked by a koi pond and swimming pool. protruding steel structures on
the second floor frame
the private areas with playful steel bars drawing
lines between the girders, while steel grates on the floor help to block out the
sun on the
storey below. a series of stone and concrete walls and marble
tile floors add an array of textures in a semi-open volume that connects
to
the exterior pools and gardens.
