The 'Vame' House in South Africa designed by Stefan Antoni Olmesdahl Truen Architects is meant as a vacation home for a couple living in New York. Since both individuals are involved in the photography and film industry, they wanted a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, but also use the space for work too.
The firm came up with this open-concept design that features a studio in the basement area of the house, and ample views to look out when the two are in need of inspiration. The house is done in an L-shape, which allows for scenic outlooks in even more directions. If this wasn't enough to relax, the structure also has a pool for the owners to jump in to get those creative juices flowing even more.
