CONTEMPORARY
CONTEMPORARY
This stunning home exemplifies the spirit of the contemporary architect - free form and with elements that appear to slide past one another. Colour is used to create depth. Go to PLOTSFORSALECAPETOWN to buy land on a slope and build your own version.
MODERN FRENCH
MODERN FRENCH
All in white and with plenty of detailed plaster bands, but not too much fuss on the windows and doors - and VOILA! You have the modern French style in action. See ARCHITECTCAPETOWN for more designs by Beverley Hui Architects.
CAPE DUTCH
CAPE DUTCH
The house at Groote Schuur is a great example of the Cape Dutch style and incorporates all the typical elements, such as thatch roof, light walls, green sliding sash windows and of course the central gable. See ARCHITECTCAPEDUTCH, for the best explanation of the style.
Somerset West - an eclectic mix of styles with German Tudor known to be found right next to a Spanish citadel. This is what happens when Europeans settle on the other side of the world. Some find it kitsch, others find it charming. I am of the latter. See GLITZYMAGAZINE for more interesting things that happen in the melting pot called Cape Town.
