Writer Ash Müller traces how Petrichor embodies the shift from opulence to intentionality, exploring its architecture by Richard Stretton, its complete off-grid independence, and its integration with the fynbos and the Keurbooms Nature Reserve. The piece concludes that the new luxury isn't about having more, but about having enough.

House and Leisure visits Petrichor for Volume 21, Roam, tracing the dirt track from Keurboomstrand up to the plateau where the home now sits.

Mungo brought their latest lifestyle shoot to Petrichor, an off-grid home in the hills above Plettenberg Bay. What followed was a day of chasing light through handmade interiors, and a conversation with the people who built the place around what a nervous system actually needs.
