Starling Residence is a 2000m² private home, located in a prestigious equestrian estate on the outskirts of Johannesburg. The design is stretched out horizontally on the north-south axis, allowing optimal lighting and solar comfort to the interior spaces.
Travertine stone was used throughout as floor finish and feature cladding on the external facades, with vertical timber shutters adding a sense of rhythm and softness.
The covered terrace became the centre point for entertaining, with the elongated swimming pool and a slanted spillover down to the subterranean wellness spa. Landscaping was amalgamated with the architecture by utilisation of green roofs, planters, and water features which forms an integral part of the overall aesthetic.
