From the architect: This four-bedroomed family home is located on an eco-estate in the farmlike suburb of Irene on the Highveld of Gauteng Province, South Africa. Strict design prescripts exist for the construction of dwellings on this pastoral landscape. In addition, the climate dictated an intimate relationship between the spaces of the house with the topography of the site. Influenced by these demands for synergy with nature, the design had its genesis in the concept of heliotropism. To achieve this balance, the beauty of the natural growth processes followed by sunflowers was utilised.
