Verleger: "Africa Style in South
Africa is a spectacular anthology that reflects the rich diversity of style and architecture that has
emerged during 300 years of creative interaction between indigenous people and settlers. We visit gabled
homes on the windswept Cape coast and brightly painted mud dwellings on the Highveld; elegant homes in the
Karoo and simple country homes in the Lowveld."

African
Heritage
von Peter Magubane (Fotos) & Sandra Klopper (Text)
Verleger: "Rural people throughout
southern Africa continue to build their houses in much the same fashion as their forefathers did for
generations before them. Thatched Zulu beehive huts may still be seen scattered around the KwaZulu-Natal
countryside, while the Tsonga people decorate their homesteads with a variety of clays, producing beautiful
patterns in rich autumnal shades. The Tswana and South Sotho people also decorate their homes, sometimes
with brightly coloured designs, sometimes with simple lines engraved in the wet mud surface of freshly
prepared walls. The Ndebele people paint their homesteads with the highly distinctive geometric designs for
which they have become famous world-wide. Some people also carry the bright patterns through to the
interiors of their homes."

Cape Dutch Houses and Other Old
Favourites
von Phillida Brooke Simons (Text) & Alain Proust (Fotos)
Paperback, 256 Seiten, 225 Farbfotos, 20
Schwarzweißfotos, 11 Karten Fernwood Press
(Südafrika), März 2001, ISBN 1-874950-47-4
Verleger: "Most are thatched, gabled
and whitewashed: others are flat-roofed, double-storeyed and classically inspired. In this sumptuous
historical and photographic record, Phillida Brooke Simons and Alain Proust explore 150 old houses, paying
tribute to the architects and craftsmen who created them. The historical architecture of the southwestern
Cape has its own distinctive character. Generally known as 'Cape Dutch' and featuring ornate gables,
thatched roofs and whitewashed walls, it is often set in magnificent surroundings that enhance its dignity
and aesthetic appeal. Moreover, it forms part of a cultural heritage that is inextricably linked with the
history of South Africa. A thoroughly researched and well-written text both informs and entertains,
describing not only the physical features of the individual buildings, but also their histories and those of
their owners. Eleven regions within the southwestern Cape are covered, from central Cape Town to the West
Coast, and including Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester, among other towns. Each house is illustrated with at
least one full-colour photograph, and often more. Certain subjects, such as the Castle in Cape Town,
Stellenbosch's Village Museum complex and the Mamre Mission, are dealt with at length. And particularly
characteristic areas, like the Bo-Kaap in Cape Town or the Bottelary region near Stellenbosch are also given
special treatment."

Colonial Houses of South Africa
von Graham Viney (Text) & Alain Proust (Fotos)
Gebundene Ausgabe im Schuber, 285 Seiten,
337 Illustrationen, davon 237 Farbfotos Struik Winchester
(Südafrika), 1987, ISBN 0-947430-05-9
Verleger: "Twenty-three houses,
varying in character from the simple dignity of Barville Park in the Eastern Cape to the grand-scale
opulence of the Tuynhuis in Cape Town, are explored here in depth. Their histories, both architecturally and
as homes that are lived in, make fascinating reading, and author Graham Viney recounts them in a lively
spirit of admiration. His meticulous research into the circumstances of their building, the families who
occupied them, and their fate at the hands of subsequent generations, has added much to the record of South
Africa's heritage."

Historic Houses of South Africa
von Graham Viney (Text) & Alain Proust (Fotos)
Gebundene Ausgabe, 285 Seiten, 337
Illustrationen, davon 237 Farbfotos Abbeville Press (USA),
März 1997, ISBN 0-7892-0306-5
Verleger: "Twenty-three of South
Africa's grandest houses, from the elegantly simple to the lavishly opulent, are presented in this
illustrated architectural history. 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 this 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. Whether it's an
eighteenth-century Cape Dutch farmhouse, a Regency villa, or the Victorian mansions favored by the wealthy
nineteenth-century sugar barons and landlords, specially commissioned full-color photographs, architectural
drawings, and black-and-white archival photographs, capture the spirit of each house. The well-researched
and authoritative text provides a lively examination of the architecture and interior design of these houses
along with colorful portraits of their builders and occupants, including the merchants of the Dutch East
India Company; the English aristocrats who tried to recreate England on foreign soil; and visionary
architects like the Englishman Herbert Baker, who resurrected the Cape Dutch tradition and, in the process,
established it as one of South Africa's most important architectural and decorative motifs. Also included in
the book is a convenient glossary of High Dutch and colonial terms. Historic Houses of South Africa
is an indispensable 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."
