Mooikloof Heights House
Mooikloof Heights.
East of Tswane in Gauteng, South Africa is the spectacular Mooikloof Heights home which is situated on a north sloping 15000sq.m. site. The house itself covers 1450sq.m. ( 16000 sq. ft.)
The home is approached from the north where it is completely transparent, but as the driveway curves around the west side it becomes a collection of stacked, rusted boxes without any openings.
Due to the size of the site, the house could be stretched to extend to nearly 85m from east to west: The north elevation is totally glazed across the three storeys with deeply recessed glazing to create sun control.
