House Bierman

Client: Private
Location: Hout Bay

Brief: To extend the ground-floor and add a double-storey to a house.

The new wing is built from an innovative light-weight steel system. This system enables easy on-site assembly and significantly reduced construction time.

On the ground floor, a single volume is created with the living area separated from the kitchen/dining room through a split-level.This stepping down the site allows for a direct interaction between the new living areas and the garden. 

The upstairs is a long continuous strip divided by a staircase and linked by a light bridge. 

The main bedroom extends as a continuous deck beyond the glass sliding walls capturing views of the surrounding nature and sea.
