A timeless blend of past and present in a Montagu home

Photographs Greg Cox

The extendable dining room table previously belonged to Anneke’s Ouma Kate. The wooden Globe chairs were bought by Hannes’s parents, Flip and Jacomi van Rooyen, at a school auction when they were a young couple. In the foreground, a prized artist edition print by Johann Louw adorns the wall.

The traditional architecture of the Van Rooyens’ house works beautifully with the dramatic and modern open-plan living space.
