This refurbished house is located in Linden, Johannesburg. The existing house needed a fresh and contemporary update for the new family of five.  The original house was cellular with bedrooms on different levels and dark passages leading to small entertainment areas.  With a love for combining old with new, the clients wanted a space to showcase their collection of old furniture pieces in a contemporary, uncluttered space whilst utilizing the large garden for entertainment. 

​

Aiming to create a space for a more contemporary lifestyle, the 2300m² site allowed for a perpendicular extension hosting all of the bedrooms without losing valuable garden area.  The new L-shaped building enabled a seamless connection to the outside from all of the spaces with bright and airy bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas. 

​

The additional bedroom wing along the boundary of the property, maximized the garden area, with bedrooms opening onto a linear “farm” stoep and the bathrooms having their own private outdoor showers. The seamless connection to the pool/outdoor stoep, makes this the perfect house for entertaining throughout the year.
