House Martienssen Blue Plaque - Kathy Munro - 2021
 

53 Cruden Bay Road, Greenside was designed by Rex Distin Martienssen as his own residence.  The house was completed in 1939 and is regarded as a seminal work of the Transvaal Group which spearheaded the introduction and adaptation of the modern movement in South Africa. The house shows strong influences of Le Corbusier. It is a simple and elegant design that utilises local materials effectively.
