APxHouse and Pieter Mostert Architects exclusive collaboration for Woodlands @ Herboths
In partnership with www.pietermostertarchitects.com
Windhoek, 27 July 2026. APxHouse (Apx) and Pieter Mostert Architects have entered into an exclusive collaboration for Woodlands @ Herboths, the low-density nature estate east of Windhoek. In terms of the development framework, Pieter Mostert Architects has been appointed as the Estate Architects responsible for the architectural design of homes within the estate, and will oversee design approval on behalf of the estate’s Home Owners Association — shaping a cohesive design language across all 31 freehold erven.
The collaboration brings together two ambitions that have always defined Woodlands @ Herboths: a place where people live close to nature without compromising on comfort, and a place where what is built today still holds its value and its character for generations to come. Rather than a catalog of set house types, the estate gives each owner the freedom to design their own home, guided by a shared vision that keeps the whole estate distinctive and unique.
“Woodlands @ Herboths was never meant to be a conventional development. This collaboration gives the estate a single architectural footprint, one that protects the value of every home while leaving owners free to build the home they have always imagined. Space, light and permanence are what people are really buying here, and Pieter and his team at PMA understand that,” says Le-Hugo van Rooyen, CEO of APxHouse.
Homes that belong to the land
Each home is designed to operate fully off-grid — with a hybrid solar system included in the property purchase, secured bulk water from NamWater and on-site wastewater treatment — so that every household runs independently, reliably and in an eco-friendly manner.
Woodlands @ Herboths sits within roughly 160 hectares of protected nature estate, with 31 freehold erven ranging from three to eight hectares each. Wildlife roams freely across conservation corridors, and internal roads connect onto the upgraded Dr Hage Geingob Freeway, about twenty minutes from Windhoek and en route to Hosea Kutako International Airport.
At Pieter Mostert Architects, we believe every home should emerge naturally from its setting, responding to the unique context of Woodlands @ Herboths. Our architecture embraces honest, durable materials, generous indoor-outdoor living and climate-responsive design, creating homes that are contemporary, enduring and deeply connected to the Namibian landscape.
At Woodlands @ Herboths, the landscape is the starting point for every home. Our role is to help each owner create a home that responds to its site, climate and surroundings through thoughtful planning, natural materials and timeless design. When a home is designed to work with its environment, sustainability becomes a natural outcome rather than an added feature,” says Pieter Mostert, Professional Architect and Founder of Pieter Mostert Architects.
Demand for this type of lifestyle has already been demonstrated at the neighbouring Herboths Blick estate, where all erven have been successfully sold.
“Each erf provides expansive privacy.”
Buyer Rationale
Woodlands offers buyers something increasingly rare in Namibia: complete control over your own utilities.
With 100% solar energy, a secured NamWater allocation, and independent sewerage systems, residents are free from:
– Load-shedding
– Municipal disruptions
– Water cut-offs
– Rising grid tariffs
This means predictable living costs, no monthly shocks, and uninterrupted comfort — a huge lifestyle advantage.
All erven are immediately developable. Buyers don’t need to wait for municipal services or future infrastructure plans.
You can:
– Start building sooner
– Budget with confidence
– Avoid multi-year service delays
It’s a hassle-free route to owning and developing a premium country home.
A Location That Is Growing Every Year
The east-Windhoek corridor is one of the capital’s fastest evolving areas, thanks to:
– The upgraded Dr Hage Geingob freeway
– Proximity to Hosea Kutako International Airport
– Increasing demand for secure lifestyle estates
Buying now places you inside a growing, premium neighbourhood where values have historically strengthened over time.
Proven Lifestyle Demand in the Same Area
Herboths Blick – right next door – sold out completely.
This tells buyers two important things:
– People want this lifestyle.
– Estates in this corridor have a track record of real demand and value retention.
Woodlands builds on that success, offering larger erven, more privacy, enhanced wildlife integration, and a stronger sustainability focus.
