House designs in Gqeberha: local notes
Wind is the main design driver: low pitched or hipped roofs, deep eaves tied down properly and fewer large west-facing windows are common. Modern flat roof houses are popular in Summerstrand and Theescombe, but need robust waterproofing. In Motherwell and KwaZakhele, three bedroom houses with a backyard room are typical, often with a flat for rental.
