ERF 679. Craighall Park. Johannesburg. South Africa.
Project Type: RESIDENTIAL – ADDITIONS & ALTERATIONS
Client: Mr & Mrs Robertson
Program: Residential – Additions & Alterations
Status: Design – August 2023
Value: R 500,000 (US $27 000)
Area: 200m²
Transforming the facade of an existing dwelling to create visual and contextual connection.
The existing home is situated at the apex of a steep slope in the Craighall suburb overlooking the green belt of Delta Park.
The brief was for the infusion of a fresh, contemporary facade to transform the existing home within its natural context.
The architectural intervention was a 2-pronged response:
- To create a new plug-on facade for the existing structure, generating a contemporary, cohesive impression. This was achieved by extruding a mild steel grid structure onto the existing facade – accommodating for privacy, natural light and ventilation.
- To integrate the home with the landscape seamlessly. This was achieved through a graduated, stepped approach through descending levels, providing different layers of connectivity.
