Architectural Designation - Nested Landscape is designated as KeyPrice Signature Architecture in recognition of its award-winning contemporary design, landscape-responsive planning, and refined interpretation of modern South African bushveld living. Conceived by acclaimed Pretoria architect Sergio Chinelli, the residence demonstrates how architecture can become an extension of its natural surroundings, transforming a privileged waterfront site overlooking Roodeplaat Dam into a sophisticated family sanctuary where landscape, structure and lifestyle exist in complete harmony. Its carefully composed U-shaped layout embraces both privacy and openness, creating an immersive architectural experience centred around light, water and uninterrupted views.

Designed as a contemporary courtyard residence, the 793 m² home is organised around a spectacular central entertainment space featuring a swimming pool, sunken boma and expansive timber terraces. Expressive A-frame roof forms with exposed timber ceilings introduce warmth and volume, while clerestory glazing draws natural light deep into the interiors and frames the surrounding bushveld. A restrained palette of facebrick, natural stone, structural steel, timber and glass creates an architecture of permanence and elegance, softened by landscaped gardens and reflective water features. Every principal living space opens effortlessly toward the Roodeplaat Dam, reinforcing the home's connection with nature while delivering seamless indoor-outdoor living suited to South Africa's climate.
