Project Area: 320 m2
Location: Heron Hill Estate Pretoria East
A contemporary home perched on a very compact corner hill site with exspansive views down a valley of the leafy eatern suburb facing to the north east.
The main structure consisting of two rectalinear footprints stacked one on top of one another where the transparent lower level houses the open living spaces and entertainment deck area with completely blurred lines between the indoor and outdoor courtyard program.
Building materials externally are mostly raw in their natural state providing for virtually no maintenance defining the linear contemporary architectural facades.
The upper level program contains the sleeping quarters with magnificent views over the adjoining neighbourhood and distant valley with an elongated linear foorprint of this upper floor with it's flat roof system that allows for a vast array of solar panels to generate the homes own electricity.
The cantilevered overhangs over glazed northern facades, insulated concrete slabs and low-e glazing systems making this family home as energy efficient as possible.
A lower street level double garage tucked in next to the entrance lobby allows for easy access on top of which a private guest suite with own balcony finds itself connected to the bedroom wing via a central internal staicase accessable directly next to the kitchen and entrance foyer.
The outdoor entertainment patio leads onto a compact garden space and pool deck immediately alongside the living room with large slidable doors that can be opened out as to make the green space an extension of the internal living area spaces.
