apartment 301

johannesburg, gauteng

2010

The brief for this alteration in Illovo, Johannesburg, was to convert the existing, dingy, and featureless roof terrace into a half-enclosed, half-open entertaining and relaxation space. We created a clean, modern lounge interior with an interconnected dining room. Clerestory windows bring in natural light.


Both rooms have complete visual access to the terrace through large, floor-to-ceiling glass panels, some of which open directly onto the roof terrace. The outside areas are surfaced in timber, while paint, epoxy, and mosaics complete the aesthetic.


The addition of a rooftop pool was perhaps the most remarkable feature of this project. Other amenities include a gas braai, large built-in planter boxes, and a shower concealed behind a timber-and-steel screen.
