Architecture Design of YNE House

Description About The Project

YNE House designed by Metropole Architects is a house with breathtaking aesthetics. It was brought to life by Metropole architects and located in the prestigious seaside resort of Zimbali Coast Forest in South Africa. Indeed, dictating traditional roof forms, the design sought to create a vision that was in harmony with the neighboring properties. Yet still represented the individual taste and aspirations of the new home owner. Also, desire for a progressive and dynamic architectural aesthetic.

Further considerations such as views, orientation, privacy and the prevailing sub tropical climate contributed to the detailing and overall finished product. On approaching the home up the slightly inclined site, the structure looms large overhead as a series of daring cantilevers and flying beams on three levels commanding one’s attention. Besides, at closer inspection, an exoskeleton comprising of aluminum screens and concrete elements is set proud of the building and veils the large glass façades of the home.

Once insides, it is an internal rain feature where the water collects in a large internal / external water feature that forms the base of an elegant sculptural staircase. The living space of Yne house is an airy, bright space which leads into the open kitchen, dining room, living room, and other wonderfully designed spaces.

In addition to this, as for the decor, the furniture is imposing. And, rather dark with several metallic touches of silver, gold, and copper. The outdoor dining room is also a true extension of the living room. A floating wooden staircase leads to the top floor where there are 4 – bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The top floor has an adaptation which is more of a T shaped. This guarantees all rooms a spectacular view of the forest and the sea.

YNE House with Outstanding Aesthetics by Metropole Architects — Indeed, this YNE House combines originality, functionality, dynamism, tradition and harmony.

Without a doubt, the YNE House is a surprising and a contrasting house between the modernity and traditionality.

The integrated living room and dining area of this YNE House is luxurious spaces with the unique shape of leopard sofa.

The sensual curve of the staircase spiralling up and over the water below draws up to the principal living level of the home with minimal effort.

The long hallway paneled with wood, accented by beautiful hanging lights.
