Notes

Blokhuis in blou pays homage to the block-shaped architecture
of a typical Karoo brakdakhuis. Its roughly plastered walls are
washed in chalk paint, which, after rains and storms, allows
for dust and light to find shelter in the cracks. A simple door,
perfectly proportioned to honour the art of simple living.
The Karoo asks you to strip all decoration,
doily roof frills make even the grandest home look cheap.
The brakdak form finds its place in these plains.
The sky is a sea of blue.
