South Africa 2005: Utopia. Nowhere. Close.

The Red House
Parys, Free State, South Africa - Slee & Co Architects

Appearing like two red canoes on the river's edge, this house one hour outside of Johannesburg is located in a nature reserve on the banks of the Vaal River. Two splayed wings frame a raised grass platform, the only element of mediated veld. The design intention was to retain as much of the indigenous veld landscape as possible.
