Glass House By Nico Van Der Meulen Architects

The Glass House project, designed by Johannesburg-based studio Nico Van Der Meulen Architects, is an impressive two-story contemporary home in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Glass House By Nico Van Der Meulen Architects:

The property is built on a 4000 sq.m site with an aggregate floor territory of 2500 sq.m. The proprietor requested a present-day, alluring, open arrangement, light-filled house with perspectives from all rooms into the garden. The house is half-circular on the south side, forming a horseshoe on the north.

The entryway and the carport are raised, allowing impressions through the house to the garden. The raised water is highlighted on the opposite side of the house. There is a suspended glass and stainless steel structure, porte cochere, with a stainless steel and glass staircase, suspended over a heated lake with a round glass water feature.

The house has a formal parlor, dining room, family room, indoor pool, and a gym. A kitchen starts with the family room and lounge area, with a couple of programmed, frameless, sandblasted entryways leading from the lounge area to the kitchen. The family room and bar walls have marble strips, glass decorations, and LED strip lights.

A basement under the house has a stopping for around 12 cars, with a perspective into the pool. Top-lit artistry display that frames the entry between the carports and the lift. The study is a glass box at the highest point of the staircase, with a perspective over the pools at the base. The principal suite has a little parlor and inherent kitchenette, with a drop-down screen and projector incorporated with the bulkhead.
