eHomes 2.0 @ CentralBlue Emerald Place

Building on our revolutionary eHomes concept, version 2.0 delivers significant advances in durability, efficiency, and livability. Enhanced engineering, including fiber-reinforced plaster and basalt reinforcement, creates more robust structures, while reducing plaster thickness from 30mm to 25mm reduces costs. Additionally, optimized construction techniques have dramatically reduced build times from 4-5 months to just 2.5 months.

A standout feature is the thoughtfully designed covered parking, seamlessly integrated into the double-story structure. The homes now line both sides of the street, fostering a stronger sense of community and neighborhood. The aesthetic appeal of eHomes has been further refined with the introduction of new roof colors that are more resistant to the effects of aging.

The quality of eHome construction has been improved through an advanced quality management system and the integration of OpenSpace technology, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship across every home. While maintaining all the sustainable and adaptable features that made the original eHomes revolutionary, these improvements make version 2.0 an even more compelling vision for affordable housing in South Africa.
