BAKONI HIDE-AWAY

2018, SCHOEMANSKLOOF, MPUMALANGA
8 weekend getaway chalets that are intended for Airbnb accommodation and weekend visits. The roof tilts up to look at the expansive views of the escarpment. The building imitates the iron age ruins that are located on the farm. The chalet is completely off the grid with solar lighting, spring water and wood heated water. There are two chalet prototypes. The one is inspired by the circular ruins and the other by the boer ruins with the bathroom being likened to the kloof with top natural light. Each chalet caters for separate needs, the one sleeps 8 people in a communal space, while the other has a separate bedroom with added loft bed for two children to sleep.
