Experience this playful concept home in popular Parkhurst that pleasantly pushes the boundaries of conventional design, materials, and technologies.

Recently featured in VISI Magazine and soon to appear in the prestigious German architectural magazine, Architektur und Wohnen.

Specifically, for those with an artistic nature and a free spirit, seeking an excitingly different lifestyle that is still warm, laid-back, and embracing. A redefinition of urban living.

Inspired by the designer's childhood memories of steel farm barns, the original A-frame home has been masterfully transformed. The roof was removed, and an impressive steel structure was lowered onto the existing footprint, then wrapped in black corrugated iron to evoke the essence of an original barn. The entire north face was replaced with a six-metre wall of glass, flooding the interior with natural light and creating a seamless connection to the garden and breathtaking northern views.

Drawing on Bauhaus principles—where form follows function—and African vernacular design, this home offers unparalleled versatility. The industrial steel cube design allows for dynamic, interchangeable spaces that can open or close to the outside world, tailored to your needs.

Enter through a striking glass pivot door into a welcoming entrance hall, leading to a double-volume living area where interconnected spaces invite exploration. The lounge and dining area, framed by the expansive glass wall, effortlessly transition from the voluminous lounge and dining area to the undercover patio and lush garden, perfect for tranquil indoor-outdoor living.

The open-plan kitchen, featuring handmade laminated iron bark surfaces, is both functional and beautiful. It offers views of the living spaces and garden. A separate scullery adds convenience, while a large library/family room on the opposite side completes the ground floor.

A vibrant spiral staircase in primary colours leads to the upper levels, where the main bedroom with a luxurious en-suite bathroom offers panoramic garden views. Two additional bedrooms, a shared bathroom, and a self-contained flat with two further bathrooms provide flexible living arrangements. The flat, with a separate entrance, can be seamlessly integrated into the main home or used independently.

This home’s true beauty lies in its adaptability. Dining, reading, working, and relaxing flow effortlessly in the communal area, which covers half the footprint, while private spaces can be reconfigured to suit your needs. The two smaller bedrooms can be combined, and the flatlet can be repurposed as desired.

Bauhaus Jo'burg, as it's known, provocatively challenges the norms of urban homes, offering a unique, versatile space - a nourishing refuge in the heart of the city.
