There are luxury homes, and then there are homes that redefine what luxury can feel like.

The House of Water is an ambitious expression of contemporary residential architecture — a home conceived not simply around rooms and finishes, but around light, water, landscape, movement and emotion.

Designed by UrbanStone Architecture according to its distinctive Psychology of Space philosophy, this approximately 1,100m² residence has been created to influence the way its occupants experience everyday life.

Water wraps itself around the architecture. Natural light pours deep into the interior. Glass, timber, landscaped courtyards and expansive openings dissolve the traditional boundaries between inside and out.

The result is less a conventional residence and more a private architectural resort. From the moment you arrive, the experience begins.

A NEW INTERPRETATION OF ARRIVAL
Even the garage has been reconsidered.
Rather than treating it as a forgotten utility space, this extraordinary six-vehicle showroom garage becomes part of the architecture itself — flooded with natural light, beautifully ventilated and finished with the same attention afforded to the home’s primary living spaces.
Optional automated frameless glass garage doors can transform the space into a spectacular private vehicle gallery, while opening rear sections allow the garage to connect directly with landscaped gardens, water features and an entertainment deck.
It is an arrival experience more reminiscent of a luxury hotel than a traditional residence.

LIVING WITHOUT BOUNDARIES
The ground floor unfolds through large, interconnected spaces with remarkably few visual barriers.
Expansive glazing and oversized openings create uninterrupted sightlines throughout the home, bringing together architecture, water, fire and landscape in one continuous composition.
Indoor living transitions effortlessly onto timber decks, covered entertainment terraces, landscaped gardens and tranquil bodies of water.
It is sophisticated, but never clinical.
Grand, yet designed entirely around the rhythms of family life.
At the centre of the home are:
• Two luxurious family lounges
• A sophisticated contemporary bar and poker lounge
• Expansive dining and entertainment spaces
• A bespoke designer show kitchen
• Fully equipped catering kitchen with large central island
• Private alfresco breakfast courtyard
• Multiple covered outdoor entertainment terraces
• Extensive water features and landscaped gardens
The breakfast courtyard is a perfect example of the thinking behind the architecture.

Rather than simply providing another outdoor area, it has been designed to change the experience of an ordinary morning — encouraging long weekend breakfasts outdoors, sunlight through the trees and moments of connection that become part of family life.
This is luxury measured not only in scale, but in experience.

A GUEST SUITE SUSPENDED ABOVE WATER
The ground-floor guest suite is conceived as a private retreat.
Generous glazing opens towards an expansive body of water positioned at sill height, creating the illusion that the bedroom itself is floating above the surface.
Morning light, reflections and landscape become part of the interior.
It is tranquil, immersive and beautifully unexpected — an unforgettable experience for anyone fortunate enough to stay.

THE PRIVATE RETREAT ABOVE
The upper level becomes an entirely private family sanctuary.
At opposite ends of the residence sit two magnificent primary suites, each occupying its own wing and each designed as far more than a bedroom.
One of UrbanStone’s signature architectural ideas takes centre stage: spectacular glass-enclosed bathing and shower pavilions projecting into secluded private gardens.
Large sliding sections disappear completely, allowing the landscaped garden to become part of the bathing experience while retaining complete privacy.
Each retreat may be completed with a Japanese-inspired hot tub, creating an environment where glass, water, rain and landscape come together.
It is the kind of luxury that changes a routine rather than simply embellishing it.
Two further oversized en-suite bedrooms, a relaxed family lounge and a fully glazed gymnasium with its own private balcony complete this level.
Natural light and panoramic views remain present throughout.

AN ENTIRE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD BELOW
Below the principal living areas lies another layer of the home entirely.
The entertainment basement has been imagined as a destination in its own right.
Guests arrive at a full-sized candy bar before entering a sophisticated entertainment environment incorporating a snooker room, relaxed lounge and underwater viewing window into the swimming pool above.
The shifting water and light create an ever-changing backdrop to the space.
And then there is the cinema.
A spectacular three-level private cinema, designed for ten luxury recliners and four oversized daybeds, delivers a genuine cinematic experience without ever leaving home.
This is not simply a media room.
It is private entertainment on an entirely different scale.

DESIGNED AROUND YOUR FAMILY
While the concept comfortably accommodates five luxurious bedrooms, the architecture can be adapted to create as many as seven en-suite bedroom suites without compromising the integrity of the design.
As a true bespoke Plot & Plan opportunity, the residence provides a foundation from which the final home can be tailored to the lifestyle and priorities of its owner.

The concept includes:
• Approximately 1,100m² under cover
• Five to seven luxurious en-suite bedrooms
• Two exceptional primary suites
• Luxurious staff accommodation with private garden
• Three family lounges
• Contemporary bar and poker lounge
• Snooker room
• Three-level private cinema
• Fully glazed private gym
• Six-vehicle showroom-style garage
• Designer show kitchen
• Separate professional catering kitchen
• Alfresco breakfast courtyard
• Expansive indoor and outdoor entertainment areas
• Resort-inspired swimming pool and water features
• Private landscaped courtyards
• Extensive terraces and timber decks
• Exceptional integration of natural light, water and landscape

Even the staff accommodation follows the philosophy behind the residence, with generous proportions and its own private garden — because truly considered architecture should enhance the experience of everyone who lives within it.
THE STAND | PHASE 10
The residence has been envisioned for Stand 2301, an exceptional 2,560m² stand within Phase 10 at Eye of Africa Golf & Residential Estate.
The generous proportions of the site provide the scale required for a residence of this calibre while allowing architecture and landscaping to work together rather than competing for space.

Water, gardens, courtyards and entertainment areas become an extension of the structure itself, creating a property in which the surrounding landscape is as important as the building.

The House of Water... The greatest luxury homes do more than impress.... They change the way you live within them.

They draw the family together. They encourage you outdoors. They turn bathing into ritual, entertaining into theatre and arriving home into an experience.

During the week, The House of Water functions as an extraordinary contemporary family residence. By the weekend, it transforms effortlessly into a private luxury resort of your own.

This is architecture designed around emotion.

A residence where every view, movement, reflection and transition has been deliberately considered.

This is The House of Water.

This is UrbanStone’s Psychology of Space — architecture created not simply to be seen, but to be experienced.
