Gondwana Private Game Reserve, Bush House
The Bush House, located in the heart of the Gondwana Private Game Reserve in South Africa, is equally luxurious as it is unique. A remote thatched-roof getaway, the private family residence combines ultimate comfort and safety, futureproof technology and incredible panoramic views. High-insulation windows, doors and sliding doors by Reynaers Aluminium helped complete this one-of-kind building project.
Comfort. Insulation. Performance.
Safe and innovative solutions
One of the main priorities of homeowners Jonathan and Samantha Dwyer was to create a safe and comfortable space for their two young children. That is why they chose Reynaers Aluminium joinery, expertly supplied by Aluminium & Allied Services.
MasterLine 8 windows and doors bring the Bush House’s design to a whole new level. The versatile system is not only easy to fabricate and install, but it also enhances the rustic look-and-feel and contributes to the energy efficiency of the house by reducing heat transfer – a real gamechanger in the hot South African climate.
The elegant pivot front door features Reynaers Aluminium's very own d-Line fingerprint scanner. Adding an extra layer of security and convenience, this system ensures the family home remains secure while allowing easy entry for authorized users only. The system integrates seamlessly with the overall building design, blending functionality with futureproof technology.
We can experience the wildlife up close in complete safety, thanks to Reynaers Aluminium!

Maximal transparency
Jonathan: “When we were designing our house, one of the most important features for us was being able to let as much nature into the house. So, a crucial step was choosing the right windows and (sliding) doors.”
In comes the MasterPatio life-slide solution. MasterPatio effortlessly combines with MasterLine windows and doors, offering passive thermal levels with 100% recycled insulation strips. The moving vents smoothly slide aside to open the house to the surroundings. Additional Mosquito fixed and sliding flyscreen keep insects at bay while fresh air circulates freely.
ConceptFolding 77 systems add yet another dynamic element to the Bush House. Combinations of multiple folding elements bring interior and nature closer together. The vents neatly fold in one stack to maximize the panoramic view. When closed, the elements offer exceptional thermal insulation and certified burglarproof security (RC 2).
Living the dream
Comfort is very important to Jonathan and Samantha, which is why they searched for the best quality in windows and doors. Reynaers Aluminium met their expectations to the t. “The systems are very user-friendly. We find it extremely easy to open all our windows and doors, despite the size and weight of some of the elements.”
“We always wanted to live in the bush, together with our two children. When our family was living in Johannesburg, we hardly spent any time outdoors” says Jonathan. “Now, we can stay outside for hours, looking at the incredible game reserve even from our balcony. We are so happy to be able to live our dream.”
Through a clever combination of panoramic opening elements and additional flyscreens, the owners enjoy soothing ventilation without the bugs.
