Boogertman + Partners

The Houghton Apartments combine spectacular views across Johannesburg with a superb location and carefully considered architecture by Boogertman + Partners.

Located in one of Johannesburg’s oldest suburbs, the Houghton Apartments building comprises 306 units constructed over six phases. Its varying structural grid allows for a combination of various unit sizes, ranging from entry-level apartments of 100m to penthouses between 443m and 897m in size. Ground-floor units open to private gardens

2 2 2 connecting to the adjacent golf course and the Houghton Hotel piazza, while apartments on the upper floors are accessed directly from the basement parking lift. The generous penthouses include roof-terrace gardens with a swimming pool and views of the Sandton skyline, and the master bedroom and living spaces take advantage of the northern side’s light and view, while bedrooms two and three (both en suite) take in heritage-protected Houghton Ridge. Glass sliding doors allow living spaces on the north elevation to open to balconies and exterior aluminium shutters can be adjusted to optimise interior comfort.
