Welgedacht Villa, morden haven by Jenny Mills Architects

Architecture Design of Welgedacht Villa

Description About The Project

Welgedacht Villa designed by Jenny Mills Architects, nestled within the picturesque Welgedacht Estate. This project epitomizes the art of blending modern luxury with serene natural surroundings. Initially envisioned as a renovation endeavor, the scope expanded to a comprehensive redesign, breathing new life into an existing dwelling.

Retaining select exterior walls, the focus shifted to a complete overhaul of the interior, meticulously tailored to fulfill the client’s desires. The result is a harmonious fusion of indoor and outdoor spaces, where the revamped structure seamlessly merges with the landscape, augmented by terraced steps and opulent finishes.

A pivotal aspect of the renovation was the creation of a strong connection between interior and exterior realms. The incorporation of a spacious outdoor living area, featuring a pool and braai, effortlessly integrates with the living spaces, enhancing the home’s allure as an entertainer’s haven.

While preserving the original footprint, the transformation imbues the residence with a contemporary aesthetic, in line with the client’s vision. Challenges, such as accommodating multiple levels and reconciling classic pitched roof architecture with modern design elements, were met with innovative solutions. Horizontal, cantilevered concrete eaves elegantly marry tradition with innovation, while pocket doors facilitate fluid transitions between spaces.

In essence, this project epitomizes the transformative power of architectural ingenuity, surpassing expectations to craft a residence that exceeds the bounds of imagination.
