House Slabbert

Preserving its historical essence as a humble 1973 modernist house situated in the beautiful town of Stellenbosch, South Africa, the single storey family abode was adapted through discrete design intervention to complement the convivial and culinary lifestyle of a young family.

A primary node is formed where these intersect with the link between the two wings. The kitchen is placed at this node and opened to extend into all directions, connecting with the variety of internal and external living spaces as well as more private thresholds of the family room and study as one progresses from public to private
