Mulberry & Prince Kitchen and Bar is the latest eatery to open in Cape Town’s trendy CBD. Situated on Pepper Street in between Bree and Loop, this exciting new addition features (seriously) pretty interiors and American-style cuisine.




This kitchen and bar, which is named after two streets in New York City, is owned by Capetonian Cornel Mostert and New Yorker Cynthia Rivera, two chefs who met while they were studying at the Culinary Institute of America.
Atelier Interiors, who is behind the design of the space, opted for a dusty pink, grey and white palette. A combination of custom-made and mid-century modern inspired furniture can be seen throughout the restaurant, together with exposed brick walls and colourful stained glass. The space is beautifully finished with work by local artist Kurt Pio lining the walls.
Influenced by Cornel and Cynthia’s collective experiences, the menu features “New American” dishes like ricotta gnudi with parmesan broth and mushrooms, slow-cooked pork shoulder in brodo with burnt leeks and cucumbers and cod and butter beans in an ajo-blanco-inspired sauce.
“Everything from the food, to the decor and music that’s playing reflects both of our personalities, all coming together in an intriguing space,” says Cornel.
Mulberry & Prince is open from 5pm until late (the kitchen closes at 10pm) from Tuesday to Saturday. The restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
For more information, visit mulberryandprince.co.za or email info@mulberryandprince.co.za. The restaurant opens officially on Thursday 21 April 2016.

Be Inspired by BARCLAYS AFRICA OFFICE BY DHK

Article by  VISI Magazine  -  a proud partner of Inspire Expo 2016. Barclays Africa’s new Digital Development Office, designed by dhk, is situated in the well-known Longkloof Studios in the heart of Cape Town. The space, which is designed to accommodate 60 permanent developers, exudes a sense of playfulness, creativity and innovation. Flexibility was key, so dhk developed an adaptable space, which can change depending on project requirements. There are no personalised desks or workstations, supporting mobility and integration within the office space. Impromptu brainstorming sessions are also encouraged, with employees being able to write on most of the surfaces within the office.   Inspiration for the interior came from the building’s exterior facade and DHK kept all of the heritage building’s finishes and fittings. Exposed brickwork, restored timber and steel set the tone for the space. For more information, visit  dhk.co.za . TAGS:  architecture barclays south africa cape town decor

Mirror Houses By Peter Pichler Architecture

The site of the project “Mirror Houses” by Peter Pichler Architecture is located in the midst of apple orchards close to Bolzano, North Italy, and is surrounded by the spectacular mountains of the dolomites. The client, who lives in a farmhouse of the ’60s on the site, asked us to design a structure for renting out as a luxury holiday unit, so guests have their small autonomous apartment and can fully enjoy the experience to live in the middle of nature. A maximum degree of privacy for both the client and the residing guest should be taken into consideration. The new structure is oriented towards east with their private garden and an autonomous access and parking for their guests. Each unit contains a kitchen / living room as well as a bath- and bedroom with big openable skylights to allow natural light and ventilation. A small basement serves for temporary storage. The projects initial volume is split in 2 units that are slightly shifted in height and length in order to loosening the
