HOUSE LAM
Designed by: Werner van der Meulen
Location: Bedfordview, Johannesburg,
South Africa
Residence size: 806.78 m²

T

he rocky outcrop with spectacular
views of the Johannesburg skyline
inspired the additions and alterations
of this contemporary home. Built from steel,
stone and glass, the home was developed to
maximize the surrounding views, making use
of the natural features without compromising
the contemporary flowing aspect of the
architectural design.
The existing entrance into the house was
originally at the top of the site. The new
entrance to the re-designed home, which
was transformed into a three storey mansion,
was created on the lower ground floor with an
internal staircase leading up to the ground floor
living area.
The ground floor is an open plan living area with
a double volume living room leading out onto
the lanai and pool, this area has spectacular
views to the north and west. The kitchen has
views to both the north and south, from here
you can also access the lanai and living area.
