As most properties in Parktown North , most are older than 60 years , this property is no different . Although the exterior remains unchanged , we submitted a comprehensive design report and application to PHRA-G , which was approved We worked closely with the client ,creating a internal workspace for the creative minds within the advertising fraternity .

Oaklands Vets is more of a land mark , than a building , as it is situated on a very unique site in Oaklands . The original building is loosely based on the Art deco genres , and is over 60 years old and has been restored. Internally , we have tried to keep as much of the original walls as possible however , to maximize space we have had to remove some , with the permission of PHRA-G .

The site offers a spectacular view looking South , showcasing Johannesburg and beyond , which we had to include in our design , to the North , the parklands / greenbelt of Steyn City , which we brought into the scheme .

The original house was a typical “A-Framed ” structure , much like you would find in the French alps , high pitched roofs to displace the falling snow . by removing the roof , adding in higher “flying roofs” created an open lighter feeling. Converting the existing garage into a entertainers dream , and introducing a glass atrium internally makes this home very unique

My Client purchased the property , with an existing home on it , which we partially demolished , with the permission of PHRA-G . The property lies on the delta park green belt . The design has to main features which highlight the presence of this building , the first, is the main entrance , a massive grand entrance of glass and steel , showcasing the staircase within . The second , is the entertainment area on the ground floor , with the main bedroom above , both overlooking the delta .
