About Horizon Huis

Horizon is 'n dubbelverdieping-huis wat ontwerp is as 'n gesinsvertrekplek op 'n private plaas, ver van die vol stad. Die moderne, kontemporêre gebou maak gebruik van ligte kleure, wye terrasse en biofiliese elemente om die binneruimte na die omliggende landskap oop te maak. Die grondvloer huisves 'n oop kombuis en groot sitkamers wat oor die swembadarea uitkyk. Die eerste verdieping huisves die hoofslaapkamer en drie kinderslaapkamers, wat deur 'n private terras met mekaar verbind word. Klip, hout en beton word gekombineer om 'n stewige en rustige karakter aan die gebou te verleen.
