Lapa Designs

If you are looking for a truly unique and stunning structure then we are pleased to introduce you to the Lapa. These buildings are our premium product and each one is built to the customers own personal requirements. Built by hand on site the basis for each Lapa (pronounced Larpa) is a timber frame crafted from African hardwood poles supporting a genuine and fully thatched roof. Whilst traditional construction methods are employed the result is a contemporary and flexible outdoor living space. Our Lapas can be complimented with flooring, fireplaces, barbecue areas, bespoke seating, and can even be enclosed with canvas side panels or brick walls. Our skilled tradesmen and designers can work with you to create your structure.

As each Lapa is unique we offer a free site survey so that we can discuss your requirements and prepare a specific proposal for you.

Lapas can be constructed in any shape or size, however to give you an idea on budgets we have given 3 examples below. These indicative costs are for the basic structures, however in the past we have also added fireplaces, granite counters, bespoke floors, ballustrading, barbecue areas, fireplaces and seating.
