We are honoured to showcase our studio project in South Africa.
This project took some years to complete because of covid-19 lockdowns around the world and in South Africa particularly.
We would like to thank all the amazing and hard working people that took part in this creation.
Planning a house in a protected nature reserve is a sensitive and complex matter. Apart from architectural planning, a lot of research was required to fully understand the surrounding area, climate, and the biodiversity since this is a project that actively intervenes in the environment and is an integral part of it in the long term.
In the interior design we made sure to implement a guiding principle of our studio, which is the use of identical raw materials inside and outside the building, which allows for optimal flow in the space, and a strong sense of comfort and locality.
We are excited to announce that we are currently working on a second project in South Africa and will be sharing the studio's progress very soon.
