Architecture

Bach Village Monaghan Farm

Bach Village, situated within the serene landscape of Monaghan Farm, supports the ideals of farm living in a residential estate. The team at REIS have designed a series of modular houses that can be uniquely adapted to 38 stands to create homes suited to the individual needs of each home owner.  Each home will be nestled into the landscape, surrounded by wild Highveld grasses and indigenous trees offering privacy and serenity within a modern and sophisticated architectural form. 

The prototype show-house has been completed and features an energy efficient, water based underfloor heating system, double glazing, insulated cavity walls, solar geysers and other high performance energy saving materials and systems.

The residence nestles itself into the landscape and frames the breathtaking views of the surrounding estate.

Monaghan Farm 15

Progress at Stand 15, Monaghan Farm.

A voluminous open-plan living area and a low-profile steel framed covered patio frame expansive views towards the Magaliesburg mountains. 

 

A span of mono-pitch roofs with exposed laminated timber rafters and clerestory windows allows filtered, natural light into the living area while the low-profile patio roof provides shade for the living area that opens out into the wide open garden.  The house includes double glazed stack-away patio doors and windows, solar geysers and an underground rain-water tank, all within a modest budget, but not a low standard.

 

This new modern farm-style residence will be completed mid 2019.

Under construction. Expected completion: with completion set for early 2020.

Monaghan Farm 21

The new family residence on Stand 21 at Monaghan Farm takes the idea of modern farm living to new heights. The large volume of the living area is accentuated using fin walls standing tall above the flat roofs and vertical slot glass panels. 

 

The house consists of 3 segments, each intersected with glass panels between the north and south - allowing the landscape to flow through the house. 

 

Crisp edges and linear dynamics are created through the use of effiecient structural steel.

 

This large family home consists of two lounges, two dining areas, an open kitchen and three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and walk in closets.

Expected completion date: mid 2020.
