Seagnet Residence
Seagnet Residence
Nestled within nature, the Seagnet residence offers an escape from the rush of city life. Situated near the Cradle of Humankind on Johannesburg’s outskirts, this 30-hectare property provides a serene retreat with sweeping views of the valley and a private lake.
Driving down the winding road, the house, with its vegetated roofs, blends seamlessly into the surrounding greenery. Designed to evoke a resort-like ambiance, the house harmonises with water and the natural landscape.
The ground floor serves as the primary entertainment area, featuring lounges, a games room, and an expansive lanai. The upper floor hosts the main bedroom wing and four luxurious suites. The ground floor also features a secluded 2-bedroom guest cottage. Water elements unify the ground floor spaces and play a central role in the basement, where the music room overlooks an island set in a large shallow pool.
Soft curves and gentle lines, combined with a light colour palette, enhance the home’s tranquillity. Concrete, selected for its light yet grounding quality, is the primary material, complemented with the rich shadows of the concrete brise soleil screens. The elegance of the house is further emphasised by slanted, tree-like steel columns that moor its gentle flow.
Seagnet residence truly stands as a retreat from the ordinary.
