Cape Town : Struik, 1981. Hardcover in Dustjacket. Near Fine. 143 p. : col. Ill. ; 31 cm. First Edition(Faint remains of pencilled name on prelims.)#200722Cape Dutch architecture is a architectural style found mostly in the Western Cape of South Africa, but modern examples of the style have also been exported as far afield as Western Australia and New Zealand, typically on wine estates. The style was prominent in the early days (17th century) of the Cape Colony, and the name derives from the initial settlers of the Cape being primarily Dutch. The style has roots in medieval Netherlands, Germany, France and Indonesia.Houses in this style have a distinctive and recognizable design, with a prominent feature being the grand, ornately rounded clock gables, reminiscent of features in townhouses of Amsterdam built in the Dutch style. Whilst this feature is probably the most recognizable, it is not a defining feature of the style. The manor house on the ""Uitkyk"" Wine Estate, Stellenbosch, for example does not have a gable at all, but remains clearly in the Cape Dutch Style. In the late 18th century, Georgian influenced neoclassical Cape Dutch architecture was very popular however only three houses in this style remain.[1] The houses are also usually H-shaped, with the front section of the house usually being flanked by two wings running perpendicular to it.The Cape Dutch architectural style is defined by the following characteristics: Whitewashed walls Thatched roofing Large wooden sash cottage panes External wooden shutters Long horizontal structures, usually single or double story, often with dormer windows Green detailing is often used Roof features reminiscent of a Dutch canal house is a common, but not universal featureMost Cape Dutch buildings in Cape Town have been lost to new developments – particularly to high-rises in the City Bowl during the 1960s. However, the Cape Dutch tradition can still be seen in many of the farmhouses of the Wine Route, and historical towns such as Stellenbosch, Paarl, Swellendam, Franschhoek, Tulbagh and Graaff-Reinet.One characteristic feature of South African colonial architecture which has attracted the attention of many observers is the extensive use of gables. Earlier research has repeatedly sought to justify the term `Cape-Dutch' solely by comparing the decorative form of these gables to those of Amsterdam. However, in the second half of the 18th century, the period in which, the entire development of the South African gable tradition occurs, gable architecture had gradually ceased to be built in Amsterdam. North of Amsterdam, along the river Zaan, however, gable design remained vigorous until the capture of the Cape. South African gables have many features in common with gables along the river Zaan, in spite of the different materials used.Dwellings -- South Africa.  |  Architecture, Domestic -- South Africa.  |  Architecture, Colonial -- South Africa.
