South African Buildings : Architecture

Architectural Developments

Buildings in South Africa We've selected what we feel are the key examples of South African Buildings. We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both. We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across South Africa. The focus is on contemporary South Africa buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome. We have 2 pages of South Africa Building selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages. South African Architecture : news + key projects South Africa Buildings : A-Z (this page) South African Architecture Architectural Designs - latest additions to this page, arranged chronologically: House Mosi, Johannesburg, South Africa Design: Nico van der Meulen Architects photo from architect Contemporary House in Johannesburg - 15 Apr 2013 Another luxury contemporary South African house by this architecture practice: as a result of an impeccable renovation, the house is divided into public and private spaces. To enter the private areas of the home, one must cross a bridge above a new internal water feature which breaks the public and private spaces, separating the entrance hall and study from the private home. La Lucia, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa Design: SAOTA - Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects photo : Karl Beath Durban Holiday House - 9 Jun 2012 The brief called for a relaxed family holiday beach house on the North Coast of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. The building has been sensitively designed to gently nestle between protected milkwood trees, in an area that has strict environmental controls. A sense of arrival is enhanced by an austere entrance flanked by two of the milkwood trees. Vame, Pearl Bay, Yzerfontein SAOTA Architects photo : SAOTA South African Holiday Home - added 6 Apr 2012 The clients: a couple from New York building a holiday home in the Southern hemisphere for summer vacations. Aware of contemporary architectural trends, they requested a sculptured building with clean horizontal lines, large areas of glass and screens creating a space that is ‘open as well as private’. Their brief was a 2-bedroomed home with indoor / outdoor living spaces and a studio to be used in their photographic and film related occupations. Nettleton, Cape Town SAOTA Architects photo : SAOTA & Adam Letch South African House This family home defines itself primarily by the way the principal living spaces at level two relate to the surrounding portions of site. This floor accommodates two generous living rooms, an open plan kitchen and triple volume dining room. Virtually all rooms open out to adjacent terraces or garden spaces, which allows the house to fully utilize the small property. Mankgaile Primary School, Limpopo SAOTA Architects photo : SAOTA Mankgaile Primary School Sponsored by PetroSA, this school commands the focal position in the village and replaces a very rudimentary set of dilapidated buildings. The main entrance is placed at the end of a linear spine which arranges the central public square and two open air classroom courtyards containing nine rooms on two levels.
