House Maisela

Bryanston, Johannesburg
2018

This home was designed for a single lady with an extended family that visits her over the weekends. Hence the house plan layout is designed on way that the main bedroom and private study are to the one side of the main open plan living area while the guest rooms are to the other side thus providing privacy yet connection for all.

Aesthetically, the house has a steel roof in two sections with the back opening up towards the northern sunlight in order to allow for deep winter natural light penetration. The covered entertainment area opens up onto the open deck and pool area and it is covered by an automated horizontal louvered roof that opens up in winter to allow natural sunlight into the living areas. A double sided fireplace serves as a divider of the seating and dining functions on the open plan area.
