3 Bed House in Craighall

Proudly presenting Smith House - an architectural masterpiece designed - as his personal home - by internationally renowned Floris Smith.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase one of Johannesburg''s most inspired homes. In the words of the ex-owner, architect and designer - when you build a house. in many ways you bare your soul. Many loves, themes, ideas congregate. The programme is incidental. The plan is a universal thing. We loved the site, the trees were huge. I wanted the house to be like a ship, no backyards and walls to tie it down.

It is a mountain of a house. Its a villa. Its a small house, its intimate. Dimension and scale are different things.

This triple storey home provides intrigue and fascination through simplicity and minimalism. The first two floors are the enterainment areas where center stage is the opera-styled kitchen - dramatic and extravagant overlooking giant sized sliding doors opening to the garden. Four rooms flank the kitchen providing dining area, music room, study, sitting room.

The third floor is the private living area with two master suites with balconies and panoramic views. Light, bright and magnificent.

The main section of the house resembles two cubes side by side. However there is more to this home - a further dimension is a cylinder design structure which is constructed adjoining the east wall. This section of the home incorporates the garages and a self contained suite with kitchenette and bathroom (also ideal as an office). The unit links directly into the main house or can be accessed directly from the garden via a spiral staircase.

The house is set in beautiful grounds with a pool and rolling lawns and magnificent trees. A home for the adventurous and those who really enjoy life.
