ABOVE A STREAM AND AMONGST THE LEAVES
this steep and seasonal river runs through a nature conservation in rural South Africa
and towards the mountains of the waterberg
THE BRIEF
a living room that stretches all the way to those faraway mountains;
a bedroom that cocoons;
a bathroom that orientates thought;
a home that treats water with dignity
THE IDEA
THE MATERIALS
THE PROGRAMME
the building offers to its inhabitants two small en-suite bedrooms with views towards the north
the interior living space and northern and southern decks merge into a single space
this flexible space is designed to allow for cooking and eating and living
below this main space, the seasonal river runs and falls
CLOSING THOUGHT
running water reflects nothing. therein lies its beauty
