South Africa definitely needs to be mentioned when gossiping about noteworthy architectural structures. In the residential realm alone, our country has delivered up some fabulous pieces, stretching from the most western Cape Town point all the way to Durban in the east. 

Ranging in a multitude of looks (from rustic to complement the wild bushveld that so many people associate with Africa’s continent, to ultra sleek and cutting-edge), these houses we are about to discover are more than enough to convince anyone that our local architectural- and design talent is a strong and stylish force to be reckoned with. 

So, join us today as we take a look at no less than 15 locally designed homes (for lack of a better word, as some of these are a bit more colossal) that will leave more than one jaw on the floor.

1. A subtle yet elegant façade that hides an abundance of lavishness behind it.

2. A combination of stone and glass ensures striking contrast and a beautiful vision.

3. An intermingling of lines and cubes to conjure up an ultra contemporary structure – and we just adore that striking red.

4. This residence’s wow factor is definitely the backyard pool, designed for elegant entertaining.

Speaking of which, be sure to scope out homify’s vast range of swimming pools for your cooling-off inspiration.

5. With multiple storeys that are vast and expansive, this structure is definitely living the high life.
