H ouse is defined along an axis which separates the living areas on the south side and the Gym and guest bedroom on the north. The linear axis is pronounced by a tower-like lobby and ends with a natural fil- tered eco-pool as the focal point. Concrete and facebrick walls flank the space from which a steel staircase hangs from steel dowels defined by the meandering skylight above. The overhanging bedrooms above create covered ,outdoor and shaded spaces be- low. Large glazed sliding doors and black terrazzo floors throughout expose the in- terior spaces into a seamless veranda and covered patio which lends itself perfectly to the outdoor lifestyle of South Africa. www.ef tychis.com 27
