German-based, Lawrence Wilcox, infuses his love for modernist architecture with the beauty of Cape Town in this one-of-a-kind apartment. The lofty two-bedroom apartment in Sea Point’s Ten on Q (developed by Blok) was purchased off-plan by Lawrence and his wife some years ago. Attracted to the modernist feel of the space, Lawrence, a lifelong fan of modernism (particularly mid-century modern), knew that Le Corbusier's Architectural Polychromy was just what he needed to liven up the lacklustre interior.

Le Corbusier repeatedly acknowledged the significance of light in his creations and understood how the complicit relationship between light and colour pirouetted throughout all forms of life.

Colour philosophy is a science – a collection of unwritten rules and guidelines which architects and designers utilise in their practice. The mystery of colour requires elaboration. Le Cobusier was a master of colour and visionary vis-à-vis biophilia. Read our latest article for the whole story.
