THIS SPREAD,
FROM LEFT
Designed by
groundbreaking
architects Adèle
Naudé Santos
and Antonio de
Souza Santos
in 1971, the
Claremont,
C ape Town ,
home of
designer Ruben
Rossouw and
his partner
Fourie Botha
is a Modernist
gem; the
Santoses added
a concrete skin
to the facade
to enhance
privacy and
accommodate
planter boxes,
ensuring that
each of the
building’s
original
apartments
had a private
garden.
