ARCHIETCTS/ PRINCIPAL AGENT: Chigama Architects CONTRACTOR: Nirvana Construction is designed to cascade and hover over the grade, to blend with the landscape, and to have a quiet presence. The residence is designed to take advantage of passive heating and cooling orientations and to create a shelter outdoor microclimate. Deep overhangs and large glazed areas on the south and west were modeled to protect from solar build up in summer and allow for heating gains in winter. The design creates an unforgettable presence in the Windhoek skyline.
