6 EDITOR S LETTER HOUSE OF THE MONTH This family home in the Constantia Valley was designed to maximise its vineyard vistas. PHOTOGRAPHS: MARK CAMERON (NAOMI), WARREN HEATH, SUPPLIED; NAOMI S HAIR AND MAKE-UP: GAYL SHELLY/SIXLOVE ARTIST MANAGEMENT; STYLING: JESSICA COLLINS. Predicting the next big thing is a massive global business. Understandably so because, if you can announce ahead of the pack what everyone will want to buy, own or be part of, there s huge money in it. It s also a lot of fun and it s this aspect that drives the House and Leisure team to produce The HL Trend Report annually. We like researching and ferreting out the trends for the year ahead so you re in the know. From robots to radishes and matt black cars, turn to page 35 for our definitive forecast for what s hot in in Constantia, is a real trendsetter, both in terms of the architecture and the edgy interiors. We know tacos are going to be on everyone s lips in the new year (HL Trend Report 2015, page 35) so we ve pre-empted your search for the best ones and created six different recipes, including savoury and sweet (page 102). Our Gardening Editor Tess Paterson has nailed the top looks for gardens that will dominate (page 114). These include pink plants, trees, water, super-sized planters and even larger sculptures. editor s picks WE RESEARCH AND FERRET OUT THE TRENDS FOR THE YEAR AHEAD SO YOU RE IN THE KNOW. Our homes line-up represents a new and evolving South African style. Each is designed to maximise its owners individuality and that confidence is, in itself, a snowballing trend for SA. Take the quirky and idiosyncratic apartment of cool Joburgers Angie Batis Durrant and Shane Durrant (page 62). This dynamite duo is already responsible for some of the city s hippest dining joints and their flat truly reflects their devotion to all things unique. Likewise, fellow editor, Marie Claire s Aspasia Karras house (page 82) has been renovated to better express her vibrant personality, while still remaining a place her husband and teenage daughter feel happy in. Our House of the Month (page 50), a boldly conceptualised family home And, of course a new year signals change. What better way to sweep out the old and herald in the new than with a room revamp? Our 5 Room Updates on page 127 show how simple ideas can have a dramatic design impact. Happy 2015!
