If you've been looking at investing in a prefab home, you may find these tips before buying a prefab very beneficial. 

You'll also be surprised to learn that so many South African architects are behind some fabulous local prefab designs. In fact, today we have put together three incredible prefabs that are simply stunning. After exploring these homes, you may be even more keen to invest in your own!

1. Urban oasis

Designed by Cape Town architect professionals E-Visions Architectural Design Studio, this prefab project is nicknamed 'Urban Studio'. This mix-used development is the perfect home for a family, offering safety, security and of course, architectural integrity.

Often people think that prefab homes are not as of high quality as traditional bricks and mortar homes, but this is simply not the case. Prefab homes can not only be beautiful and environmentally sustainable, but they can be very durable and sturdy. 

A clearer view

Here we can see what the designers had in mind for the prefab design, where the home is spacious and interconnected, stretching across the property. They've opted for neutral tones and unusual shape, which creates quite a magnificent first impression. 

We can also see that natural light plays a role in this design. Skylights as well as large windows and doors are included throughout!

2. A modern masterpiece

Designed by Johannesburg-based T4 Architects, this 400 square metre home is nicknamed House Steenkamp and is based in Ebotse Golf and Country Estate.

This is a wonderful example of just how modern and sleek a prefab home can be, without compromising on privacy or security.

The designers have also got the entrance spot on in this design, opting for a savvy double garage and a covered entrance. 

The gorgeous exterior

The back of the home is slightly less private than the front of the home, with large glass windows and doors that open up onto a spacious backyard with a swimming pool and dining area.

For South Africans, these outdoor spaces are very important as they offer extra living areas where the family can spend time together. A swimming pool is also a must for those hot, summer months.
