RESIDENTIAL HOUSE
- Architect: Tseko Malambo
- Area: 240m2
- Location: Meanwood Ibex, Lusaka
- Year: 2020
This house was designed in featureless surroundings but with a fabulous view over the other houses, which receives the westerly sun in abundance. The project is based on technically evolved solutions, with the emphasis on energy sustainability, the use of solar lights and an integrated solar system.
The building was designed on the basis of lightness and it rests on an exposed concrete base, balanced over landscaped terraces and the water features (swimming pools ). The roof accentuates this concept.
The entrance is over a suspended concrete walkway. On reaching the upper storey we grasp the fluidity of the space containing the living room, bedrooms and the large double height area, where a reflecting pool of natural light fills the entire space.
