Freshome recently profiled the transformation of a gorgeous residence in Limpopo, South Africa. Designed by Nico van der Meulen Architects, the designers needed to account for heat problems, a focus on natural light and green energy, and a renovation that increased the property from 343 to 494 square meters.

Relaxation and comfort pours out of the space—complete with vaulted ceilings, glass-walled facades, and an insulated structure that helps to greatly cool the house at night. Oh, and did I mention the pool structure that weaves its way through several rooms on the ground floor?

Be sure to head over to the Freshome article, for dozens of pictures showcasing this glorious space.
