The important question to ask is not ‘what’ but ‘how’. What goods we produce or what tools we use are not questions of spiritual value. Mies van der Rohe.

The vision of this project was to create a live-work environment that would explore a multiplicity of living options. The strategy applied to this project is firstly to minimize demand on energy services through optimization of passive heating and cooling, natural light and other energy needs. The reduced energy needs facilitate the use of renewable energy technologies such as solar water heating systems for domestic use and photovoltaic for electrical lighting.

Mielner Ave. Residence | Chingombe Architectural Lab
http://www.calabarchitects.co.za/mielner.html
The aim in this project was to utilize the existing views from the formal living spaces, and provide new casual living area opening to a north facing courtyard and swimming pool. The existing home built in the 50’s already had an interesting massing concept which in our view never realized its full potential. In our approach we have re-interpreted some of the architectural language of the original building and have introduced more interlocking masses. 3D rendering of the house from the outside.
