Q&A WITH GEORG VAN GASS


What was your design principle for this house? To design a house that complements its surroundings and makes the setting the hero. A building you wish you'd conceived? Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion. Your pet design peeve? Trends. What are you inspired by? People...


We ultimately design spaces for people. I can study people and their interactions with spaces for hours. I love it when I design a space in a certain way and people use it exactly in that manner without my having to explain it to them. Which individuals do you have your eye on? I love the work of Brazilian architect Marcio Kogan. Your favourite summer colour? Green. T think summer’s beauty lies in the transformation from brown to green. Just imagine how boring it would be if everything was green all year round. What is your best piece of architectural advice? Design buildings around you and your needs. Design aesthetic is important, but functionality is more so. Buildings should be beautiful, but they won’t stand the test of time if they aren't functional and practical. How would you describe your style? South African minimalism - minimalism with texture. What is your favourite way to spend a summer evening? Outside with family, friends, food and drinks. What do you love most about old Joburg? The abundance of good architecture in the CBD. Do yourself a favour and go on one of the city walks that are operated by the Parktown and Wcstcliff Heritage Trust (parktownheritage.co.za). Best thing about summer? The long days: there’s so much more sunshine to enjoy.
