ERF 211. Wendywood, Johannesburg. South Africa.
Project Type: Residential – Multi Unit – Additions & Alterations
Client: Faria Properties
Program: Residential – Multi Unit – Additions & Alterations
Status: Conceptual Study
Value: N/A
Area: 1 300m²
Built in the 1980’s, Tamaris Lodge consists of 15 identical 90m² two bedroom units. Our task was to ‘shake things up’ to have a mix of unit typologies which would increase the net rental yield of the block. Three major design decisions were made to achieve a more human-centric block:
- Demolish the private garages, add a slab with covered parking in the cold space below and create a new accessible ‘ground level’ with park, running track and swimming pool.
- Convert six units into twelve studio apartments – each two bedroom 90m² evolved into two 45m² studio apartments.
- Covert three units into a luxury fantasy penthouse with a private roof garden and plunge pool.
