The Blue Hills House In South Africa

If I were going to South Africa for the World Cup this year, this particularly gorgeous villa is where I would like to stay. In fact, I’d like to live forever in this beautiful dwelling from designer Rudolph van der Meulen of Nico van der Meulen Architects.

Key features of the private residence include the entrance hall, which overlooks a double volume, open plan family/ dining room, a kitchen leading through frame-less glass doors onto an expansive lanai and infinity edge pool, framed by a massive beam. The other wing consists of a study and guest bedroom downstairs and three kid’s suites upstairs. All the habitable rooms in the house are north facing, with solar control carefully considered resulting in a cool house in summer and a bright, sunny and warm house in winter. Sounds nice.
