Firstly I would like to thank all our loyal readers – because of your support we are able to make DesIgn bigger than ever. Looking at the statistics and the letters that you send us, you clearly enjoy reading DesIgn online, and we are determined to keep on giving you the free online magazine of the highest quality that you have grown accustomed to. In this edition we look at the ultra-modern Integrated Dental Holdings building in the article, A dentist you would want to visit. We also take a look at Jan Spruyt’s new Bushbar that is located in the heart of Olympia. Instead of discussing old buildings we took a closer look in this edition at the Habitat Centre which Nina Maritz designed. The article is about using recycled products as building materials. In the interior section Ronel talks about making spaces. She suggests solutions for when there is just not enough space in a loft-style apartment. We also have a look at entertainment areas in our unique country. We visit Heron Haus Interior & Décor, a brand-new interior and décor centre that recently opened in the heart of Klein Windhoek. In the food and wine section we take a look at Charly’s bakery that had a humble beginning at Swakopmund, but has grown into a landmark in Cape Town. Finally we do sparkling wines and Nougat pairing with J.C. Le Roux. I hope you will enjoy this edition! Andre desIgn Namibia October - December 2013 3
