The interestingly designed 'Kloof Road' house features an intriguing mixture of abstract decoration around an angular black steel facade.
Designed by Werner van der Meulen of South African architectural practice Nico van der Meulen Architects, this unique residence is located outside of a nature reserve on the outskirts of the city of Johannesburg. The impressively designed 'Kloof Road' house measures in at 11,840 square feet and seamlessly blends the interior of the structure into the outdoor areas.
An angular black steel facade wraps around the exterior structure that also utilizes elements of glass and concrete as well. Diagonal strip lights also help to decorate both the entrance and other areas of the home to create abstract patterns within the various sculpted forms of the residence.
