The futuristic architecture of Californian architect John Lautner inspired the creation of this ambitious family home in the suburb of Bishopscourt, Cape Town, South Africa. “The architectural concept of splines and continuous form explores the itinerant spaces between the undulating bronze glass versus the Balau screen, and the resulting double volumes, overlapping spaces and crescent shaped balconies.”

Sound Space Design, consulting globally and based in Sydney, together with design principal Don Albert's remote-working process made this project possible.
