Award Winning Architecture - Serenity and Contrast inspired by Nature and the Elements. This masterful achievement in residential elegance is the unique design by architect Willi Meyer, who is the founding partner of Meyer Pienaar architects. The firm has been responsible for the Everard Read Gallery in Rosebank, and was one of the winners, in the Pahlavi Library International competition, in Iran. Meyer has constructed this house which won the Award of Merit in SA Institute of Architects. The design concept draws inspiration from the Middle East, the stark contrast of desert sand and glistening oases made a powerful impression on him. A secluded door yields access to a private world totally devoid of urban angst. The core of this house is a large extended atrium. Every en-suite room looks onto the atrium which imparts a serenity to the entire household, together with ample light and air. The extensive brickwork of the walls has been modified by a mortar additive to conjure up an endless vision of sandiness, this is relieved by several “oasis” of flowing motors in the form of waterfalls cascading into the pool. The 12m x 12m courtyard can be filled with water at the turn of a tap. At night the cast stretch of water reflects the heavens above and the passage of the moon. The effect is magical. Wind towers catches the slightest of breezes and transfer them via ducts to cellars filled with huge jars of water or shallow flooded areas. The air, so cooled by the water, is then piped upwards again to the principal areas of the house and vented through skirting ducts. It is a natural system of air conditioning. The reception rooms open onto the courtyard which becomes almost a big stoep, and is completely closed off from the street. Practicality has proved effective in this unique home which has three reception rooms, five en-suite bedrooms, guest suite, well appointed luxurious kitchen, wine cellar, pool and courtyard. Extras North facing, Wine cellar, Jacuzzi, Outside shower, Water feature, Miele appliances, Built-in fridge, Caesarstone walls
