This home in a prime Durban suburb is the epitome of ‘green living’. And it’s intended to be that way. The owners are passionate about the environment and deeply concerned about the health of all living systems. Thus their brief to the architect, Sagnelli Associate Architects, as well as all concerned on this project, was to deliver on aspects like vertical gardens, roof gardens, green building materials and home that is ‘off the grid’, utilizing as much green technology as possible e.g. solar and water harvesting – thus completely self-sustainable.
For me it was an eye-opener to see a project of this nature and to be so impressed by the quality the build (Bancamp Construction) but more so by the architectural wonder of the location yet showing understated simplicity of the home which I’m sure was a successful cohesion of the home owner and attentive architects realizing the vision of the end goal.

Brilliant images.
It is gorgeous! The property, the house, the concept and the vision.
Well done for considering the environment, and hopefully starting a new trend among home owners.
Well done ! Best wishes (Mrs) Lyn Smith
Wow! Wow! Wow! What a photographer! And what beautiful angles. I am in still in absolute awe of your Gorgeous Green House since our tour of your home and garden a few weeks ago. But even these exquisite photographs do not do justice to the thousands of awesome touches that you and Greg have put in place at every turn. I don’t know how you can bear to leave home!
