The architecture of Antonio Zaninovic, who works in South Africa and was born in Chile of Croatian parents, has a classic charm. It manages to stay thoroughly contemporary but nevertheless makes strong references to early 20th century idioms. This makes it intensely livable and somehow tinged with a grace and an elegance that is rare. These are shimmering gems of houses. with interiors that are as stupifyingly stunning as the exteriors. Zaninovic's villas exude a sort of Mozartian perfection and one just knows they will never date.
