I received a call from Stephanus and Marlien to view their future home development site on the family farm. Three new homes would eventually be required. The couple had selected a beautiful site with commanding views. Being on a sloping ledge, the house was to have a split-level on the lower edge. The garage would be on the lower level. Stephanus required the study to be down there too, which would serve as the farming operations’ nerve centre for the payment of wages and deliveries, etc., while keeping business and family life quite separate. The west-facing living area, together with the view aspects, was the perfect site choice – the site dictates!
