This is REALLY cool. Anything made out of Cedar has my stamp of approval to begin with, but the entire setting is awesome. I really love the moss on the shingles.

Transition has been on my mind a lot lately. Perhaps it’s because this week marks my sole child’s final stretch of high school. Soon, she’ll be moving off, starting a new life far away from us as a college freshman. Or, it could be because my wife and I are …

If you’ve ever wondered why primitive classical Greek and Roman temples look the way they do, here’s some background and fun inspiration
History Repeats Itself... At the southern most tip of Africa, where the Atlantic and Indian oceans crash into each other, the Dutch East India company established a trading colony in the mid 17th century . Cape of Good Hope Founded in 1679 by the Governor of Cape Colony -Stellenbosch- is in the heart of what is now known as The Winelands Simon Van Der Stell, named the town after himself and why not ? "It's good to be KING." More humble types such as farmers and merchants arrived from Flanders and built homesteads in a new style then unique to South Africa but influenced by designs from the old homeland Recently I found this painting in my attic. It was purchased by my parents in 1955 in Holland. Painted in oil on board by VILLEM VENDENBERG-1955 I now recognize it as the same place I took the photograph below outside Stellenbosch, South Africa I knew when I took this picture that it reminded me of something but I couldn't pin down what it was . Now the connection makes both the photograph and the painting more meaningful The Cape Dutch Style Stark lime washed exteriors with thatch roofs rise against the back drop of the surrounding hills . Gable end walls with a large center front gable dormer, often detailed with elaborate baroque gestures , bely the simplicity of the structures. A thatched ceiling Though solid and practical the style has a gladness about it Built of simple, indigenous materials, the style carries influences from Flemish, German, Danish, and French architectural vernaculars, but speaks it's own lyrical language. I love gabled end walls and have used them often in my own architectural designs ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN RELA GLEASON Wooden partitions served as dividing walls and louvers allowed air to pass freely through the structure. Flemish chandeliers were brought from the Netherlands. Available materials of wood and thatch were very flammable so fireplaces were limited for kitchen use only for fear of setting the whole place on fire. These early settlers planted vineyards and established wineries still in existence today. French Huguenots fleeing religious persecution in France settled in the area and brought with them viticultural and winemaking skills. The Wine Lands of South Africa are now a destination for wine lovers and they produce some very nice wines exported all over the world. I suppose it really didn't matter to the sailors on the ships plying goods back and forth from India to Europe how good the wine was, as long as there was plenty of it. Chimney Rock Winery was established in the Napa valley in the 1980's The Cape Dutch style of the architecture was a tribute to the South African heritage of the founders A side view of Chimney Rock Winery McAlpine Tankersley Architecture A Cape Dutch inspiration for a beach front house on the east coast of the United States BTW- Congratulations to mcAlipne tankersley for having been selected to the AD 100 in the January 2012 issue of ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST The Dutch Door typical for the main entry of every Cape Dutch Manor House is often used in traditional American architecture Connect the dots... Look carefully- observe closely - life is six degrees of separation Design in the American colonies was heavily dictated by styles in England of the same period. Styles traveled around the world quickly even in the 17th century. William and Mary - Perhaps they improved by candlelight In 1689, William of Orange, born and raised in The Netherlands, became William III of England. He reigned till 1702 with his wife Mary, and during his tenure on the British throne he introduced many Flemish designs into the refurbishing of Hampton Court. By the way- you can actually stay at Hampton Court by booking reservations through The National Trust. Many historical properties allow overnight guest stays and make for a very special experience at very practical prices. Colonial Williamsburg was established in 1693, five years after William of Orange ascended the British throne . The College of William and Mary, the second oldest university in America, was founded in Williamsburg, also in 1693 Harvard University established 1636 Massachusetts Bay Colony Hampton Court-London a writing room in a wing added by Sir Christopher Wren for King William and Queen Mary -notice the chandelier- It is no coincidence that the Gun Room at The Governor's Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia is almost a copy of the Guard room at Hampton Court The King's Guard Room at Hampton Court Gorgeous Flemish Chandeliers (now electrified) provided light Chandeliers began to gain popularity in the middle ages. They were only used in the castles of the nobility and the homes of the wealthy merchant class, more as a show of wealth then they were for providing real illumination. So what's changed ??? Arnolfini Wedding Portrait by Jan van Eyck 1434 A wealthy Italian merchant and his wife at their home in Bruges The chandelier hanging in the background is a sign of wealth and opulence Is she pregnant in this wedding image ? Would love any feedback on this question INTERIOR DESIGN AXEL VERVOORDT An antique bronze Flemish chandelier still holds candles Candles were expensive, required a full staff to keep lighted, and were cause for concern of fire. A small four arm Flemish style chandelier A 1970's version of the Flemish chandelier is also an iconic American style I LOVE THE HUNT FOR WONDERFUL THINGS I found a pair of these chandeliers at a flea market- took them apart-and then reassembled them in a more relaxed and graceful composition Now they have a provenance and the price was right Oops...are those cob webs I see ? The 18th century brought with it developments in glass production leading to the inclusion of the refractive crystals as decoration for chandeliers. 18th century French tole chandelier with cut crystals hangs unexpectedly in a protected outdoor loggia DESIGN : RELA GLEASON INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN BERNARD DE CLERCK There are many fabulous chandelier options available today from fine period antiques to superb reproductions and contemporary new interpretations of old classics. These new models allow for flexibility in sizes and finishes and are usually less costly then antique fixtures The Sophie Chandelier available in other sizes and finishes from Hector Finch Scalloped Chandelier modeled on a Swedish antique available in custom sizes and finishes from McLain Weisand A sailing ship chandelier sparkles as it floats overhead A three mast schooner it is a reminder of the ships that sailed the oceans 400 years ago I found this charming sparkler at ABC Home in NYC Right after World War II the best known house in America was the New England style farmhouse built by Mr. and Mrs Blandings (AKA Cary Grant and Myrna Loy.) MR. BLANDING BUILDS HIS DREAM HOUSE 1948 "You want to do WHAT ...?" Have a good laugh and click on the link below to see what it takes to make the perfect color selection http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZwOGVWqHAw What begins as the American dream becomes the American nightmare Myrna Loy was one of Hollywood's Leading ladies from 1934-1960 She is best known as Nora Charles starring with William Powell in THE THIN MAN films Archibald Alexander Leach "They just don't make them like they used to " He selected his Hollywood name, Cary Grant because he believed the initials would bring him luck in his career as they had Clark Gable and Gary Cooper Five times married, (I would have lined up for an audition) Grant's second wife was the heiress Barbara Hutton. Cash and Cary Grant, a true English gentleman, had signed a pre-nup and did not take any money when they were divorced in 1945. They remained life-long friends which says it all. kids imagine building themselves a dream house Inspired by Cape Dutch architecture I have designed The Dream House for a client on the San Francisco peninsula. We have engaged McAlpine Tankersley Architects to turn my sketches, concepts and plans into working drawings... ... and Lencioni Construction to turn drawings into reality. Together as a team we hope to create a legacy project John Ruskin ( 1819-1900) Leading art and architecture critic of the Victorian era "Today his ideas and concerns are widely recognized as having anticipated interest in environmentalism, sustainability, and craft." I cherish this set of books dated 1913, on building and estimating . Truly nothing changes Building a house is a privilege. It should not become a nightmare. I hope you will continue to check in. Progress reports on The Dream House will be published regularly as a part of my journal. Carpe Diem rela
