In her inspired restoration of Babylonstoren, one of the oldest estates in the Cape winelands, Karen Roos has created a new kind of country getaway: a working farm that is also a luxury hotel where guests can enjoy the pleasure of picking their own fruit and vegetables.
Roos has a rare gift for creating a world in a picture. Her style celebrates antique and modern, timeless and trendy, via a unique visual arithmetic: discreet, often ruthless, subtraction and subtle, surprising addition.
