House and Leisure Vol. 13 is about unearthing architectural design across Southern Africa. Embracing and exploring the elemental beauty of water, soil, mud, stone, rock, wood and foliage. It is textural, contrasting, showcasing modern concrete structures nestled in the softest green surround and tented safari camps with the softest touch and painted skies, secluded desert escapes and forest cabins. It is filled with earthen hues, dusty trails, silky sunset gradients and natural textures. It is ‘of the earth’.
