Residence VI — Portal

The brief

“A contemporary new-build in Pretoria East arranged around a double-volume living core. A face-brick portal frames the open-plan living, dining and kitchen; a timber-and-steel stair rises through the centre to the bedroom level and a deep covered balcony. Full-height glazing opens the ground floor to lawn on both sides, with a separate scullery, cloakroom and en-suite bathrooms completing the plan.”
