Imbizo House in Arch Daily

Arch Daily has featured one of our favourite international projects. Imbizo House is a holiday home set high in the hills above the picturesque fishing town of Knysna.

The three-bedroom house was commissioned by a South African client and his family who live in the UK but wanted a second home where they could bring together both branches of their family. Socialising is central to the purpose of the house, and a layout of interconnected spaces was conceived as a contemporary take on an imbizo – the Zulu word for a gathering. A large open-planned living space flanked by generous terraces forms the heart of the home.
