House Victoria

TYPOLOGY  RESIDENTIAL, RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPE LOCATION WATERKLOOF, PRETORIA SIZE 2552 SQM CLIENT PRIVATE ARCHITECTS FIELDWORKS DESIGN GROUP PROJECT STATUS CONCEPTUAL

Located in the established residential area of Waterkloof, Pretoria, this project is situated within a neighbourhood known for its historical value and mature character. Waterkloof offers a blend of old and new, making it a desirable location for residential development, where modern living can be integrated with the neighbourhood’s established identity. The site itself features a gradual slope, providing design opportunities that respond to the natural topography while respecting the area’s heritage.

The design concept features a central wall that extends throughout the property, creating a linear layout with main spaces arranged along this axis. Drawing inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian period, it emphasises spatial organisation and facade composition, highlighting prominent rooflines as a key architectural element.

House Smuts

TYPOLOGY RESIDENTIAL LOCATION CLEARWATER COUNTRY ESTATE, RIETVALLEIRAND, PRETORIA  SIZE 240 SQM CLIENT PRIVATE ARCHITECTS FIELDWORKS DESIGN GROUP PROJECT STATUS COMPLETE

DESCRIPTION

House Smuts is located in Clearwater Country Estate, Rietvalleirand, Pretoria.

This residential project occupies a unique site, as it is situated on a plot overlooking a constructed wetland system.  This provides the design team with opportunities to frame views and promote the natural landscape. A strong premise for systems design manifests within the design solution. It is based primarily on the strategic use and recycling of water. A greywater recycling system, in the form of an on-site wetland, is responsible for water purification and reuse. The building is fully equipped with its own water storage facilities, which store grey and purified water separately. The system works with a combination of gravity and solar pumps, in order to minimise electricity usage. Indigenous low maintenance planting, allow the building to blend comfortably with its surroundings. The design testifies to the innovative use of material and construction methods.
