  • The Architecture of Patriarchy: Houses, Women and Slaves in the Eighteenth-Century South African Countryside
    The Architecture of Patriarchy: Houses, Women and Slaves in the Eighteenth-Century South African Countryside Martin Hall This paper originated in my attempt to understand the materiality of colonialism at the Cape of Good Hope.1 How did material things-buildings, farmlands, street grids, personal possessions, domestic utensils, food-contribute to the mapping out of the colony? What were the relationships between such systems of signification and the discourses of colonial power? This route of inquiry led me to the question of the eighteenth-century Cape gable; ornate plaster work standing above the front doors, side wings and back facades of rural manor houses. These gables are sometimes dated or datable, and they are usually attributable, in that the land on which they stand was often freehold and taxed, leaving clear traces in the transfer documentation and census roll. Their prominence in the colonial landscape-often framed by other buildings and avenues of trees, and designed to be seen by all approaching-indicates that, par excellence, they were artifacts signifying colonial possession and domination.2 Re-evaluating the Cape Gable in this way is also a political project. The mythology of the eighteenth-century Cape has contributed in a major way to the naturalization of white domination and colonial control, and the image of the benign patriarch sitting at ease beneath the oaks, in front of his whitewashed facade, smoking his long clay pipe in satisfaction and contemplating the securing of civilization against the barbaric chaos of Africa, permeates popular history. However, this project has proved more difficult than expected.

Each of the 7,500 bottles, housed in our professionally maintained cellars, represents the very best wines from the world- renowned estates and vineyards of the Western Cape. I invite you to explore our three climate-controlled wine cellars and discover for yourself some of the rare and special vintages we currently list. We also have the revolutionary Le Verre de Vin wine preservation system. This allows us to pour premium still and sparkling wines by the glass without compromising on quality, giving you the widest choice of excellent wines. Our attention to detail has been recognized by Diners Club in their Wine List competition, which has given us the highest accolade from 2009 - 2012 consecutively - a Diamond Award. In 2012 we were recognized by Food 24 as having "The Best Long List" in South Africa in their independent wine list competition. Our selection of rare and vintage wines, some as old as 1980, guarantee memorable moments at the table, especially when combined with our exceptional menus. We are always on the lookout for new and exciting wines. We source wines from both established and emerging vineyards as well as from prestigious wine auctions, such as Nederburg and the Cape Wine Makers Guild. To continue with our passion and dedication to South African wines, and in the interest of only listing wines when they are at their optimal drinking, we have dedicated sections of our cellars to the investment and maturation of young vintages.

  • Reshaping Remembrance ~ Glorious Gables
    Reshaping Remembrance ~ Glorious Gables Introduction The correctness of the term ‘Cape Dutch architecture’ has often been questioned, but a better and clearer one has never been agreed upon. Museum director Dr. Jan van der Meulen, in a doctoral thesis at a German university in the sixties, tried to prove that it should rather be called Cape German. As a result he was often referred to as ‘doktor Von der Moilen’. The ‘Dutch’ of the term was probably introduced by English speakers and must have referred to ‘the architecture of the Dutch period’ rather than suggesting a ‘Dutch’ stylistic origin. Such an origin – apart from a certain German influence, if you wish – can certainly be detected in certain details, like gable design and door and window types, but is not at issue in our context. The Cape was Dutch, and not German. And if there are two things that characterize early Cape colonial architecture (if we must use an alternative term), it must be its highly recognizable quality and its strong homogeneity. Within a few decades the little settlement at the Cape developed a domestic architecture that has an unmistakeably local character, of which the highly uniform elements persisted for over a century and a half – well into the British period, in places well into the second half of the nineteenth century. There may well be similarities with domestic architecture in parts of Europe, but no Cape farmstead or townhouse can be mistaken for anything similar over there, not even in the Netherlands or its other former colonies.

  • Cape Vernacular Interpretations
    CAPE VERNACULAR INTERPRETATIONS The demise of the Modern Movement resulted in a plethora of architectural responses. Venturi argued for 'Complexity and Contradiction' (1966) in architecture, while contrastingly, Rudofsky (1964) and Oliver (1969), in their studies on the vernacular, motivated for a return to basics; to an architecture of authenticity. Ironically, this echoed the original intentions of the Modern Movement, underscored the early investigative travels of Le Corbusier and supported the aims of 'The other tradition of Modern Architecture' as espoused by Colin St. John Wilson (2007). Vernacular building is an authentic architectural response to physical and socio-cultural context. It constantly evolves through influences such as the arrival of a new group of people with different cultural practices, new functional requirements or changes in technology. These shifts are concretised in the hands of craftsmen or designers who reconcile modern dictates with the necessity for historical continuity and cultural meaning. Rapoport (2006:182) and Ozkan (2007:104) argue that approaches to vernacular architecture vary from the replicative to the interpretative. The former tends towards a scenographic approach while the latter transforms vernacular principles to suit modern conditions. Neither approach of these diametric poles is a satisfactory response. The limitations of scenography freeze architecture in time, diminishing its validity, while a process of interpretation can abstract the architecture to such an extent that historic continuity is lost. Rather an attenuative approach is required, one that mediates between the approaches of the extreme poles. In the 1950s, architects such as Pius Pahl (1909-2003), Revel Fox (1924-2004), and Gabriel Fagan (1925-) synthesised the haptic and spatial qualities of Cape vernacular buildings with the architectural approaches of the Modern Movement so as to suit new functional requirements and through this process developed a seminal modern, but place-specific, domestic architecture.
