Starling Residence, Haven by Nico van der Meulen Architects

Architecture Design of Starling Residence

Description About The Project

Starling Residence, designed by Nico van der Meulen Architects, is a sprawling 2,000m² private home nestled within a prestigious equestrian estate on the outskirts of Johannesburg. The house’s layout follows a horizontal orientation along the north-south axis, ensuring abundant natural light and optimal solar comfort throughout its interior spaces.

Travertine stone is a prominent feature, used extensively as flooring and cladding to enhance the external facades. Complemented by vertical timber shutters, these elements introduce a harmonious rhythm and a touch of natural warmth to the modern design.

At the heart of the home lies a covered terrace, designed as a focal point for entertaining. This central space extends towards an elongated swimming pool, which cascades into a subterranean wellness spa, seamlessly blending luxury and relaxation.

The landscaping integrates seamlessly with the architecture, employing green roofs, planters, and water features to create a cohesive aesthetic. These elements not only enhance the visual appeal but also reinforce the home’s connection to its natural surroundings.

Starling Residence is a testament to contemporary architectural elegance, combining functionality with a sophisticated design that perfectly complements its prestigious location.
