Architecture Design of House Morkel

Description About The Project

House Morkel designed by Neo Architects is a modern farm style private home, located in the Silverlakes Estate, Preotria. It is a 4 bedroom with en-suite bathroom house with an open plan dining, kitchen, lounge and entertainment areas. Indeed, this house showcases the language of the vernacular climate with a central roof garden over a covered patio, protected from the weather yet opening up towards the garden and swimming pool.

The roof garden provides a well-insulated entertainment area. Also, softens the structure with landscaping elevated from ground level to the floor above. In addition to this, the bedrooms overlook this roof garden for a tranquil bushveld effect. Throughout the design, internal vistas created to experience the landscaping and external areas to give the house an airy and light feel.

The front door is on an axis defined by a wooden deck that extends from the front door straight through the house to a green wall outside. The open plan kitchen and dining room have views to both the entertainment patio with swimming pool and the boma, a client request for socializing around a campfire. Indeed, the design proofs that contextual and vernacular architecture is achievable and greater success for comfortable living even in estates where the norm is to conform to inappropriate adapted foreign styles of architecture.
