Architecture Design of Fuchsia House

Description About The Project

Fuchsia House designed by Metropole Architects, this spacious home is prominent and boast on the gently sloping square shaped site with stunning views of East coast. Architecturally, the home takes on a contemporary feel with simple forms and a palette of light materials.

The arrival point is a spacious double volume three sided courtyard area with access to 4 garages and guest parking. Also, the front entrance door directly off the courtyard opens onto a 180 degree unobstructed view over the swimming pool, towards the golf course fairway in the foreground and sporadic distant sea views. In addition to this, the double volume dining and lounge area flanked by an open plan kitchen and scullery/ laundry to one side and guest accommodation to the other.

On the other hand, the up-swept light weight butterfly roof floating over the core of the house draws an enormous amount of natural light into the internal reaches of the home. Whilst heavier concrete roof elements used to provide shade to the view facing bedrooms and outdoor areas. Whilst also defining the modern intentions and aspirations of the home. Indeed, all the finer architectural decisions and detailing have been intentionally considered. In order to collectively give the house a sense of lightness and defined movement as it effortlessly appears to “take off” in the direction of the endless views.

Text by the Architects: Fuchsia house was designed for a recently retired couple with a large close knit extended family. Located on the east coast of South Africa, on a modest lot within a gated golfing estate, this spacious home graciously asserts itself on the gently sloping square shaped site in a way that the allowable build area is maximized and all the specific living requirements are included.
