Best Houses In The World: Amazing Kloof Road House

Amazing Kloof Road House is one of the best houses in the world. Take a look how on of the most recognized South African architects created another masterpiece. South African architecture office Nico van der Meulen architects keeps pushing the boundaries of “amazing” in architecture. Their latest project, the Kloof Road House, located at the foot of a nature reserve in Bedfordview, Johannesbourg amazed us with the elegance of modern interior while futuristic facade without a doubt placed this amazing mansion among the best houses in the world.
