We loved renovating this Heritage mining house in Melville, Johannesburg. House de Wet sits adjacent to Melville Koppies Nature Reserve with views towards the north ridge. We took advantage of this proximity by adding a ‘box for viewing’ above the existing building. The result is an open plan living space and rooftop observation deck creating an elevated living experience in commune with nature.

We wear our heart on our sleeves and design for the next generation in South Africa and across the continent. We pride ourselves on projects that are culturally rooted, relevant and sustainable, adding value to the communities and neighbourhoods we touch. We build across scales and we’re as comfortable executing a home renovation or an experimental urban concept, as we are developing a warehouse, shopping center or safari lodge.
