PROJECT DETAILS
  • Architect: Studio HB
  • Interior Designer: Akara Design
  • Photography: Sarah De Pina
  • Location: Midrand, South Africa

Situated within a luxury estate in Midrand, Home V by Studio HB represents a contemporary approach to architectural design. This contemporary family home, designed for a challenging site, offers a seamless integration of functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.

Spread across two storeys with four bedrooms, Home V maximizes the natural surroundings with expressive facades and staggered forms. The stepped profiles of the house create an illusion of grandeur, reminiscent of a three-storey structure, while optimizing views of the adjacent nature reserve.

This contemporary family home goes beyond mere aesthetics, incorporating passive design strategies and green building solutions. Solar energy generation and rainwater filtration systems are seamlessly integrated, ensuring efficient resource utilization and minimal environmental impact.
