House Lehapana is a single-family home that was designed according to the “South African Vernacular Farm & Country Style” proposed by the estate’s Aesthetics Committee. The South African Vernacular Farm & Country Style is characterized by simple rectangular forms with pitched roof shapes and smaller lean-to roofs over side spaces and patios. The gables on the sides of the houses formalize the Farm Style structures, and lean-to roofs to the front invite the inhabitants to enjoy the late afternoon views over the countryside. Open roof spaces inside create large open volumes for cooling the homes. The focus is on the use of natural materials for the house to fit well into its natural surroundings. Outdoor living is encouraged by opening the house to celebrate the views of the surroundings.
