JACOBOTHA ARCHITECTS 021 180 2546
The architects managed to produce a building that, while highly contemporary, sits very comfortably in its historical setting. The modern barn-like building typology is sympathetic to the older pitched roof structures in the area; while the separation of the barns and introduction of courtyards in between assists in reducing the scale of the building in an otherwise finer-grained setting. The architects assembled a series of very large interior spaces that remain human-centric and offer tactility and comfort. This statement home epitomises Jacobotha’s expert manipulation of mass, volume, proportion, surface, geometry and light. With its double-volume spaces and panoramic views, this architectural masterpiece is an entertainer’s delight.

Sharing the limelight with the expansiveness of the home is the natural light that streams through the double-volume spaces.
