SILVER ANGEL’s unique and inspired interior design features themes of silver echoing her name. The interior reveals a high gloss dark oak paneling and built in furniture which is superbly complemented by the radiance of white Onyx, silver leaf and carved mirrored units. Around 1,200 square meters of black glossy oak and 700 square meters of marble with fine white onyx for the interior and travertine for the external areas has been utilised in her construction.

Who says a garden can’t grow atop the concrete jungle? A spate of new buildings across the world are being topped off with “green roofs”—spaces that incorporate environmentally-friendly features such as flower beds, vegetable patches and solar panels, transforming these structures into large-scale sky gardens. Most recently, in France, the government passed a law mandating that all new commercial buildings must feature green roofs partially covered with either plants or solar panels.

The giraffes are nurtured within the 140 acres of the estate, until they are ready to be reintroduced into the wilds of safer National Parks and game reserves wherever possible. Some, such as Lynne, the wonderful old mama who has recently had a calf, prefer to stay and eat giraffe nuts from the hands, and occasionally mouths, of thrilled guests and staff.
