What a pleasure to see such attention to detail, by Stephan and his team, who are the masters behind this installation.

We chose these little beauties to tie in with the heritage-based style of this sweet cottage.

This specific cladding is an adaption of the traditional Dutch Klompie brick. Dating back to the 17th Century. Incredible how a small, narrow brick from the Netherlands has made its mark on architecture and design.

Love is in the air and it smells like coffee. A quick revamp of a local coffee spot in Swakopmund. Just in time for the festive season.

Some of the finest advice I ever received was, before buying something new because you need a change, first go shopping in your own home. Admittedly, having a lifelong love of styling, I have some knick knacks and whatsits galore. Nonetheless, when you’re on a budget, have a look around first before shooting out the door. Put all your decor ‘bits’ on the dining room table. Go put on some lipstick (or anything that brings you equal joy) and look at where else something could work in your home. Candle sticks, sculptures, framed photos, plants… Just have some fun with it. Go pick a stokkie from your garden and gooi it in a vase. Just. Have. Fun.

There will always be a debate around the restoration of heritage sites. Godenfang served as a happy home for many years and we are fortunate enough to know the lovely women who grew up in this home.
Being built in 1930, the old girl was bound to have a few wrinkles and so you make the best choices you can and work with what you’ve got!
We see it as Godenfang entering into a new chapter. Not forgetting the story up until now, but bringing in a new narrative.
And so, with that said, the magic will continue. Except now it’ll be on your plate. Made with love.

Landscaping is such an integral part of architectural design and it never ceases to amaze us how beautifully it finishes a project off. Cailean Schickerling has proven my point with the superb job she has done at Godenfang.
