Daffonchio Architects Gives Samios Heritage House a Green-Roofed Addition
This gorgeous green-roofed addition to the Samios heritage home is a paragon of South African sustainable building.
Unlike its older, more stately predecessor, the addition was built to
enable its residents to live as close to nature as possible without
suffering from Johannesburg's harsh dry heat. Despite the ubiquitous use
of heat-trapping glass, passive design keeps the house cool in summer
and warm in winter.
