Architecture Design of Riverglen Residence
Description About The Project
Riverglen Residence by Nico van der Meulen Architects nestled within Johannesburg’s prestigious Steyn City estate, embodies a striking balance between privacy and openness through its monolithic stone structure. This three-story home was designed around a central courtyard, establishing a seamless flow between private and public spaces while fostering a strong connection with the surrounding landscape. Inspired by traditional courtyard typologies, the residence is configured to allow stunning Eastern and Southern views while ensuring discretion from the Northern approach.
The ground floor merges indoor and outdoor living with tiered, open-plan spaces that offer an inviting and expansive environment for family gatherings and entertainment. A spacious basement serves as an entertainment hub with concealed parking, while the first floor offers a tranquil escape from the communal areas, housing private bedrooms that open onto serene courtyard views. This architectural carving of stone creates a refined interior experience, allowing a dual function that shifts between openness and seclusion.
With its sculpted stone facade and dynamic design, Riverglen Residence exemplifies modern luxury with a harmonious integration of privacy, comfort, and natural beauty.
