About
Strikingly captured by distinguished photographer, Craig Fraser, Remarkable Heritage Houses of South Africa covers the full gamut of locations, architectural genres and interior decorating styles of our unique country.
Predominantly constructed no later than the mid-1950s and chosen for the singular legacy each keeps alive; these are homes that blend architectural integrity with an uncanny sense of place. Some more ‘historic’ than others, they have been sensitively rescued or meticulously preserved, or simply kept current with custodianship that has at all times respected their unique pedigree. Strikingly captured by distinguished photographer, Craig Fraser, they cover the full gamut of locations, architectural genres and interior decorating styles, yet have all been skilfully adapted to meet the demands of modern living.
How Upstanding!
Us humans are funny things. As kids, getting us to sit down and stay still was a difficult task for parents and teachers alike. When we were teenagers, sitting or lying around the house was our favourite thing to do, and standing up was something our parents and teachers begged us to do. Sometimes it was even a form of punishment!
Now that we're adults, standing up is 'in' again. Just think of Janice's new standing desk she had approved by HR. Her back problems are gone. Greg in finance says that standing and eating at the dinner table has helped with his indigestion. And Joshua, the in-office boet, says that canoes and kayaks are 'so last summer', and Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Boards like the one we have a deal on from StormFox, will be the hobby of Summer 2024. Don't get left out of the in crowd!
