ABOUT

“I had discovered in my rides the exhilarating air on the sandhills and the shore, where the south-east trade wind concentrates round the Muizenberg headland.” Baker, Architecture and Personalities.


Baker would design and build nine dwellings in Muizenberg, and would choose its windswept dunes as the site for his own holiday home, Sandhills. Brett McDougall explores Baker’s connections with Muizenberg in an illustrated talk.


This will be followed by a free screening of a documentary on Baker’s South African period.
