This lavishly illustrated book presents twenty three of South Africa's greatest houses from the elegantly simple to the lavishly opulent. Author Graham Viney, who is an interior designer as well as a professional restorer of old houses, sheds light on his country's history with this comprehensive exploration of South Africa's architectural legacy. The colonial houses featured in the book create a timeline, charting not only the evolution of South Africa's architectural and interior design styles but also its culture and society in the two centuries leading up to its independence. [This book] is an indispensible resource for anyone who is a student of colonial architecture and design. It also serves as an excellent primer for people traveling to South Africa--several of the houses are open to the public--or for those who are simply interested in enriching their understanding of this unique country. Blue cloth boards with color pictorial DJ, 285pp, profuse color and BW illustrations and photographs.
