Mpumalanga notes on house designs
Lowveld heat shapes the house: deep stoeps, high ceilings, cross-ventilation and shaded north and west walls, often under thatch or IBR sheeting. Around Nelspruit's Sonheuwel and the Riverside estates, three and four bedroom family homes with a pool dominate. Rural families around Bushbuckridge and Kabokweni often ask for a rondavel cluster or a granny flat added beside the main house.
Homes and buildings in Mpumalanga
Building in Mpumalanga splits between two worlds. On the escarpment and Lowveld, around Mbombela, White River, Hazyview and Graskop, timber-and-thatch lodges, citrus and macadamia packhouses and holiday homes sit on steep, forested slopes where cut-and-fill and drainage need careful drawing. On the Highveld, from eMalahleni and Middelburg to Secunda and Ermelo, mining and power station workforces drive demand for townhouses, extensions and shop fit-outs. Further north-east, rural homesteads under traditional authorities around Bushbuckridge and Nkomazi still often combine rondavels with a modern block house. Local draughtspersons and a few architects handle most of this work.

The requests we see from Mpumalanga usually come from:
