H-SHAPED HOUSE PLANS
Be inspired by our collection of H-shaped and horseshoe shaped house plans. The heritage Cape Dutch Manor Homes are usually designed in these shapes, as well as in T-shapes. This is because it was teh optimum layout for construction when the roof-spans were limited to 6m wide. In the modern day, we find that light and circulation both benefit from and H-shaped or U-shaped house plan. Variations of these home layouts have been built Cape Town, Stellenbosch, Somerset West and Darling. Beverley Hui is currently working on a book to be published on Amazon that contains such layouts, with artistic impressions of the plans executed in a range of popular South African architecture styles.

HOUSE BREYTENBACH
HOUSE BREYTENBACH was designed by Beverley Hui architects in the Cape Vernacular style. The luxurious home makes a break from the usual strictly symmetrical layouts common to the style, and contributes to the luxurious atmosphere at De Zalze Winelands Golf Estate.

H-SHAPED HOUSE PLANS
The H-shape provides many wings for housing a large number of rooms. These are easily resolved on the elevation, because of the natural symmetry of the plan from all directions. The H-plan is a very popular layout for building plans in South Africa, and can be resolved in both modern and traditional styles of architecture.
