When masterminding the transformation of a 75-year-old cottage into this contemporary three bedroom colonial home, Jo’burg-based architect Hugo Hamity aimed not only to retain the property’s period features, but also the soul of the original spaces. While he’s extended the house to the furthest extent allowed on the suburban stand, his clever use of space ensures it has a light and airy feel, with an interesting view glimpsed from every window.
