Oversized Sliding Doors for African Clifftop Villa
This modern African villa, which sits on a rocky mountainside overlooking an African dam, was designed with minimal windows in collaboration with Studio Seilern. The creative construction, which was created as a recording studio for a musician, is tucked away in a private area and has architectural glazing to take full advantage of the breathtaking setting.
Designing for African Climate
The modern new construction makes use of a variety of materials in large finishes, such as timber-clad roofs that extend beyond the building's perimeter and large glazing solutions that were custom-engineered. In addition to providing shade for the living area below and lowering solar glare throughout the day, the spacious overhanging roof is aesthetically pleasing and a stand-out feature of the home. Because of Africa's intense sun, the largely glass home needed sun protection to be functional, while preserving modern architectural style.
