Location: Helderfontein Estate Johannesburg
A modern contemporary take on the 'farm barn' style this family home situated in an upmarket residential estate designed for entertaining and outdoor living. Four private bedroom spaces are situated on the upper floor with all having a northern orientation and each with its own shaded balcony reducing solar heat gain through the large surface glazing.
All the living areas situated on the ground floor level seamlessly flow into one another directing you outward onto a large covered veranda boasting an outdoor bar area edged with a wrapping timber deck that connects the swimming pool and garden space to the entertainment hub of this home.
A private study space is tucked behind a formal lounge on entry and opens out onto a landscaped courtyard. The use of vertical sheet wall cladding on the street facade gives the barn style architecture clarity that is seemingly 'cut through' by a punctured vertical plane of packed natural stone also acting as a 'barrier' between the homes entrance hall and living areas from the road access on the southern side.
A concrete tectonic 'box' in it's raw form straddles the lower ground floor living areas witch houses the master suite above giving the aesthetic a linear modern contemporary feel. The covered balcony to the front of the master suite overlooks a lush green roof garden area to step out onto.
