		<description><![CDATA[The long-awaited Open Door restaurant at Constantia Uitsig Wine Estate has finally launched to the delight of diners in Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs and beyond. Introducing some of the contemporary edginess for which they are well known, local restaurateurs Neil Grant and Barry Engelbrecht have transformed the space formerly occupied by The River Café &#8211; situated at the entrance to the estate &#8211; into an exciting destination dining spot. Grant and Engelbrecht, who also own the successful Cape Town eateries Bocca and Burrata, are known for their award-winning, modern take on Italian cuisine, presented in surroundings that make use of innovative design combined with an awareness of detail and the incorporation of traditional elements. Inhouse Brand Architects has successfully worked with the duo in the past and created the interiors for both Bocca and Burrata. The challenge this time was different, though &#8211; a far larger dining area, the introduction of a new culinary style as well as the logistics of dealing with a building that is a local heritage site. The heritage of the building was an important factor when shaping the new look of the restaurant. Originally built between 1917 and 1918 as a primary school for children [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The industrial look has long been a design staple. In recent years, as the cultural trend has shifted towards an increased green awareness, natural and organic finishes have to come to the fore in interiors.

The functional severity of the industrial look is warmed and softened by the use of natural materials. It’s all very now – and wow! Bocca is the latest venture of well-known food and wine fundi Neil Grant, with his business partner Barry Engelbrecht. Grant’s other establishment, the award-winning Burrata, which is located in Cape Town’s Biscuit Mill, was also designed by Inhouse. This time round, Inhouse Creative Director Aidan Hart and designers Ernst Frame-Tolmie and Becky Kriedemann took their cue from the bustling Bree St dynamic, and neighbouring haunts, before framing their design solution.
