A Lapa pronounced (Larpa) is a traditional South African garden structure crafted from African hardwood poles and finished with a genuine thatched roof. The resulting Lapa structure is a stunning building that can be used all year round. We work closely with clients to ensure that each project is unique and built to exacting standards. No two Lapas are ever the same, and it is the uniqueness that sets them apart from other garden buildings.
Handcrafted from start to finish, they combine modern comforts with traditional building techniques to provide a contemporary and flexible outdoor living space. In addition to bespoke design elements, our Lapa construction is a stunning structural process to witness, crowned with a hand thatched roof completed by our master thatchers.
