Werf Open Concept House in Cape Winelands, South Africa by Van Der Merwe Miszewski

Located between the road into Franschhoek and the Berg river, this Werf House is the result of a rejuvenation of a 1920′s house and a barn dating from ± the 18th century. The architect, Van Der Merwe Miszewski, was commissioned to re-utilize the barn which is more or less centrally located on the site and is surrounded by several magnificent and ancient Oak trees.

The barn itself was repaired and inhabited to form the heart of the home – being the living, dining and cooking spaces. The long facades are covered with verandahs; one open and planted and the other covered over.

A long pool separates the barn from the vineyards, which together with new paddocks, surround the new house. The owners collaborated closely with the architects on all aspects of the design, and particularly so with regard to internal fit out and furniture.

Woodworking is a piece of cake …

With tons of blueprints (over 16,000!) for different furniture designs and outdoor woodwork projectsyou can have a great insight into how to build different things with wood. In it, they tell you about wood, how to design projects, the detailed photographs, patterns, blueprints, materials list and step by step instructions on how to put build them.

The second part shows you the different tools and how to use them, and a complete guide to woodwork carpentry. And the color photographs and drawings are beautiful and show a lot of detail.
