Kiff Porsie (Afrikaans slang for ‘Nice House’) was thus conceived as a pair of contemporary pavilions, one for living and one for sleeping linked by a split level breezeway filtered from the street and sky but open to a central, protected communal space where family and friends come together.
The pavilions, extruded ‘container like’ boxes, hover above the street, engaging with the view and passers-by with modest decks and floor to ceiling windows and doors. The boxes stretch out towards the valley, capturing northern light and cooling breezes in the process, terminating with larger western decks, structure expressed and unearthing space below for guest rooms and communal indoor entertainment space.
