House van Schalkwyk, Tweefontein, Gauteng

This gorgeous family home is a great example of barn style architecture. The main open plan kitchen and dining area is housed in an almost industrial and barn type structure that feeds into all the other rooms of the building. All the buildings have a modern meets old feel accomplished by mixing glass, steel and stone sourced locally. High pitched roofs add to the farm feel as well as create high ceiling spaces filled with allot of natural light. This house is North facing allowing for active control of the suns natural movement. The site is complete with a large garage and private cottage for the client’s parents.
