“Addition, not Demolition”
Saving the old to make way for the new
House B designed by smartvoll is an example of how the unbridled will of a family not to tear down the old house has inspired the new architecture in the most positive way. Adding instead of demolishing has become a design mantra due to the vigorous desire to preserve. Photography by Dimitar Gamizov

House B, Westcliff Ridge is a project designed by Daffonchio and Associates Architects. The clients’ brief was to create a sustainable modern home that exploited views from the site, which is situated just off the Valley road on the Westcliff ridge and overlooks the jacaranda trees of the Northern suburbs parks and Johannesburg Zoo.
