Have you ever wondered what lies behind an interesting facade, or wished you could peek behind a closed door? Hidden Cape Town offers a unique look at thirty of Cape Town's most notable buildings. Paul Duncan and Alain Proust have collaborated to reveal the architectural secrets and artworks that lie behind the doors of some well-known, and lesser known, landmark buildings in and around the 'Mother City'; buildings that are part of our collective heritage, reflecting the myriad cultural influences that have shaped our country.
Paul Duncan is a former editorial director at Condé Nast Independent Magazines and former editor of Condé Nast's House & Garden (South Africa). He was educated in Cape Town and at the University of Edinburgh, where he received an MA (Hons) degree in Fine Arts. His career has included a stint as a speechwriter and researcher to the chairman of the London-based Royal Fine Art Commission. His published books include two collections of South African interiors: Down South and Down South Two, and Style Icons.

His body of work includes over twenty books, among them Colonial Houses of South Africa, A Portrait of Cape Town, Everyday Cape Malay Cooking, Groote Schuur: great granary to stately home and Nederburg: the first two hundred years. | | Link to WorldCat - find this book in a library near you |
