LA MOTTE (THE FRENCH REVOLUTION)

I'ts a cloudy day in the proclaimed French town of  South Africa situated 45minutes away from the buzzing Mother City. In the driver's seat is my partner in crime Nicoleen, approaching the boutique town vineyards on the roadside are the clear sign that we have arrived in the famous Frenchhoek. We make a left turn in into the vineyards, welcomed by a bold sign La Motte and a warm smile from the guard we drive pass into the new developed La Motte, its green everywhere the 'verf' is looking spectacular. Getting of at the parking lot we meet with some of our colleagues, on the north side is the main entrance, behind that is the French Revolution or sould I say the Rupert Revolution. What ever word is used to descibe this manifistation we all couldn't wait to experience this moment. The out come of this project is a sophisticated design that pays great home age to historical arcthitecture, a job well done to Malherbe Rust Architects, as a student this is a a motivation and shows us as young designers how to balnace the relationship between old and new.

This left me wanting more but i had to keep space for the to more dishes that were coming, thumbs up to the chef biltong, feta nd bread soked in red wine, what a combo.

Chicken, well how ever one can make chicken I always enjoy it I guess it's the black inside me. Lol

 

Three textures of chocolate. Heaven on earth, I wish I could share this experience in more detail but i can't because there are no words to describe this. I had the time of my life and such things only come once in life, well thats what people say.

Again I was chilling with freinds minding my own Bizz, I had plans for the night though because my friend was having a charity event to raise funds for her movie so we all where waiting for the sun to go down the Friday of 25th March. Chilling by the window at my friends place in the beautiful Vredehoek over looking Mother city as she goes to sleep silently....for me this was just toture I mean the place is so quiet u can hear a needle falling in the street, I would enjoy peacfullness if i where dying ofcouse....Thank heavens for the wine everything went peacefully. Not even the old granny next door who thinks the complex is an Old Aged Home could keep us down especially when we heard we are goin to the Jazz....we where on the ball. To make story shorter I had a BLAST____the performances where on point THE SOUND, OMGGGG! it was sooooo good i have never experienced such, know i know why people love jazz.

Cape Town Design Network

So like last night I went to the Cape Town Design Network. What an event it was, I enjoyed every moment of it even though my friend was on my case all the time reminding me that she has to go and do her laundry and go to ZAR 'club of ANC' you didnt here that from me. Lol...Oh, how could I forget this, you are probobly wondering how I got the invite to this event, well I wasn't invited infact we where on our way to do laundry when I saw people gathered in a nice resturant so i was like 'Let's go inside maybe there is free food'. I know how this sounds but I am a student i dont have time for the kitchen so where ever there is a Function you will see me it's not that I am a socialite or anything, well through mastering this 'no time for cooking' I learned to network. Over all I had agood evening regardless of the FREE FOOD of which there wasn't any, Mel ex-HOD of CPUT design faculty made the night and ofcouse looking at the variety of work people in the design industry of Cape Town are doing was pretty enjoyable and engaging with 'fellow designers'. Lol, well I guess I have the right to call myself a Desginer....#Faints. The brief of the night was NETWORK___and yall know how I roll. Hahahahahaha! All I can say is 'cant wait for the next CTDN presentation'. LOVED IT.
