IGODA VIEW HOUSE : EAST LONDON

For DIAMOND IGODA VIEW (PTY) LTD

by omm DESIGN WORKSHOP CC

 


This privately owned retreat for an London based art dealer shows an assurance in the use of rectilinear geometries, a restraint of material choice and finishes, composed in a series of solids and voids where spaces can be variably configured through use of sliding walls, doors and shades.

The art on display is incorporated into the design, as is the relaxed yet sophisticated lifestyle of the client.

The melding of the structured landscapes of drives, paths and courtyard with the topography and restored indigenous landscape makes for a seamless architectural composition of merit.
