About Villa DF
Revitalizing a 1987 Home: A Contemporary Transformation
Our journey begins with a 1987 house, reborn through a contemporary renovation. Juma Architects skillfully replaced the old roof ridges with modern zinc roofing. Furthermore, they used zinc on some facades, lending the house a unique, austere quality.
Blending Nature and Architecture
Moreover, new brick facing refreshes the house’s appearance, seamlessly integrating with the surrounding natural beauty. Additionally, the back swimming pool, strategically elevated, maximizes sunlight exposure. Nearby tall trees often shade the area early, making this design choice crucial.
Enhancing Outdoor Living
At the swimming pool’s end, a new pavilion invites extended outdoor enjoyment, offering shelter from the elements. This pavilion, thoughtfully designed, harmonizes with the house’s overall structure, completing this stunning architectural symphony.
