LUXURY RESIDENTIAL BUILDING WITH THE INTERIOR DESIGN IN DIMOTSE SETTLEMENT IN BOTSWANA

Abstract

The aim of this research was to design luxury residential buildings using main principles that are used in classical architecture (essential elements) and connect it with eastern architectural world. To connect material and immaterial world, to work with contrast and find a balance between them. The building is situated in Dimotse Paradise village in Botswana and it was of the huge importance that the building is flexible and modular so there is a possibility of creating a large number of variations. From the urbanistic point of view, the inverse method is used, to start with the building, make its variations and define urbanistic contexst. In the interior the idea was to demonstrate that it is not so important how much space we have, but how it is organized and that by using luxury furniture, the space gets a note of luxury. However, in the first place, it is an architecturally high-quality space, functional, to satisfy human needs that are changing, which is why flexibility is extremely important.
