‘How do we give our client more for less?’ is the future-proofing quest architects Johan Wentzel and Grete van As of W Design Architecture Studio embarked upon when considering the conceptual design of this strikingly contemporary, yet unpretentious building. Nestled amongst a mixture of residential and small business properties on a busy sub-urban road in the East of Pretoria, the structure was designed and developed to fit right into its ever-changing suburban context as an adaptable space that can be used as a house, an office or a combination of the two. Theconcept of adaptability and optimization of resources are interwoven into every level of the design and radiatesa spirit of multi-functionality from the very core of each design consideration – from the position and shape of the building on the site up to the detail design and construction material selection.
