It is not a complex space that shouts at its visitors; It is based on attention to detail and appreciation of craft. Take note of the undulating brick on the back wall, the I-Beams that frame the window, the cross bracing on the exterior of the window, the steel braces where wood intersects wood, and the tension rods with turnbuckles. Quiet details that add pleasant intrigue. Sited in Namaqualand, South Africa, the flat terrain allows the building to stand out while still offering a stunning (and intricate) backdrop.
