On the sometimes quiet Woodstock street, a terracotta house glows as though it has captured the sun and kept it in its walls. The color is warm, earthy, almost breathing- a shade that feels both ancient and newly alive. Its surface is textured by years of wind and rain, yet the hue remains rich, a gentle defiance against the passing seasons. White-trimmed, peeling windows frame the façade like careful brushstrokes, and a small stoep gathers dust and footsteps in equal measure. In the late afternoon, when the light softens, the terracotta deepens to a burnished amber, making the house seem less like a building and more like a fireplace—holding warmth not only for those who live inside, but for the street itself.
