RESIDENCE OF THE YEAR
DREW ARCHITECTS FOR UPSIDE DOWN HOUSE Kempton Park, Gauteng The ‘Upside Down House’ proposes that all primary living spaces be elevated to the first floor to enable the owners to take in the magnificent views from the spaces in which they would ultimately spend most of their time. @drewarchitects www.studiodrew.co.za Image by Elsa Young
MONOGRAPH ARCHITECTS FOR HOUSE HILL VENTER Parkhurst, Johannesburg While the architecture feels bold and sculptural, it’s also sensitive to its context. Its solid, almost monolithic form is softened by deep-set windows and doors, which draw in natural light, framing views of the garden, and creating a play of shadow throughout the day. @monographarchitects www.monograph-architects.com Image by William Hindle
