Here food is prepared and shared, stories are told and knowledge passed from one generation to the next. Similarly, the museums that make up Iziko are spaces for cultural interaction.

  • The New York Times Magazine
    AWAY Travel November 15, 2020 T H E NEW YORK TIMES STYLE MAGAZINE Haunting new short stories inspired by place SPIRITED BY DESIGN BY pre-apartheid Cape Town, segregation was less formally enforced than it would later become, which meant that Le Roux was able to depict Black men alongside white people in the paintings. But those men were almost always shirtless, often seen from the back or with their faces obscured by a shovel or an arm in motion. The fate of the building over the decades that followed can be seen as a reflection of the history of 20th-century Cape Town itself. Just 16 years after unveiling it, the South African Mutual Life Assurance Society abandoned it for a wealthy suburb, marking the beginning of a larger and devastating exodus from downtown. An array of commercial tenants leased the space as the years passed, but no one knew what to do with the striking, now empty building. By the early 1990s, as apartheid was at last eliminated, most of Cape Town’s businesses had left the city, leaving hollowed out, grandiose structures as a reminder of the wages of the Empire, institutional racism and urban flight. A BROTHER AND sister in their 30s who were raised in the wine business and now live mostly on a vineyard estate nearly two hours from Cape Town grew up with the Art Deco masterpiece and knew of its historical importance long before PEOPLE, PLACES, THINGS PEOPLE, PLACES, they imagined that they would one day be part of its story. “I remember feeling a sense of awe over the building’s complexity of history,” says the sister.

  • The Penthouse Mutual Heights Mutual Heights “Penthouse” Cape Town
    HE ENTHOUSE UTUAL EIGHTS T P MUTUAL HEIGHTSM “PENTHOUSE”H CAPE TOWN . WESTERN CAPE . SOUTH AFRICA STUNNING VIEWS OF TABLE MOUNTAIN & THE HARBOUR The Mutual Heights Building, is an internationally recognised art deco jewel. The Penthouse is on the 11th floor of this iconic Building . 14 Darling Street, Cape Town. HISTORY Opened in 1940, the "Mutual Building" (or "Mutual Gebou" in Afri- kaans) was reportedly then the tallest building in Africa (apart from the Pyramids in Egypt), and it had the fastest lifts. They still work, and they are still fast! You can see how it now compares favourably with some of the other tall buildings in the world. The Old Mutual Building has the greatest span between floors - more than five metres. At all levels, the ceil- ings are very high, and in one of the meeting rooms on the eighth level the curtains alone are more than six metres long. The design of the building is attributed largely to Fred Glennie - not widely known outside South Africa, but well known locally at the time. Art Deco is not to everyone's taste, but as incorporated into the design of the Mutual Building it is very, very impressive. Dark marble in the entrance hall, shades of paler marble in the magnifi- cent banking hall, and characteristic stainless steel trim and light fit- tings everywhere. Mutual Heights was one of the first conversions of an office building to residential use in the central business district of Cape Town. In this case, the office building is very special, being one of the fin- est art deco buildings in the southern hemisphere.
