The Art of Home Design
At Reno Property Developers, design is more than just blueprints. It’s the foundation of the home you’ve always imagined. Whether you’re building from the ground up, planning an estate in the suburbs, or developing a farm-style retreat, our team guides you through a seamless design process from concept to council submission.
Design & Style
Where lifestyle meets architectural vision.
Our design journey starts with you. After an initial site visit to understand your space and surroundings, we’ll sit down for a detailed consultation — tailored to your lifestyle, taste, and the kind of home you want to create.
You’ll have the opportunity to share your personal style preferences, how your family lives day-to-day, your vision for the home, and the features that matter most to you. From there, our design team will craft a cohesive architectural concept that brings together function, beauty, and lasting value — all in harmony with your land and location.
Integrated Home & Site Planning
Designing a home that fits your life and your land
Every great home starts with thoughtful placement and flow. From how your home sits on the land to how sunlight moves through your living spaces, our design process considers every angle.
We look at your property layout, natural surroundings, and daily lifestyle to create a design that feels intuitive, elegant, and built for real life. It’s not just about rooms — it’s about rhythm, comfort, and connection.Answers to Your Design Questions
What are the most important things to consider when designing a new home?
The Best Place to Position Your Home?
It’s not always the centre of the plot. Too often, builders default to placing a house right in the middle of the stand — but that can limit your options. A central placement can crowd your yard, make extensions awkward, and leave outdoor areas feeling disconnected or underutilised. At Reno Property Developers, we take a smarter approach. We consider natural contours, sunlight, wind direction, views, privacy, and future additions — so your home sits where it truly belongs, with every space working in harmony.
Spot and Solve Issues Early
A good design sees what others miss. The planning stage is where hidden challenges should come to light — before they become costly mistakes. Common concerns for homeowners include poor site orientation, lack of privacy, awkward views, or neighbouring structures that affect light and layout. We also assess factors like slope, soil stability, drainage, and access — so we can design with foresight and avoid construction surprises down the line.
Design with Climate in Mind
Your home should feel right — in every season. A well-designed home doesn’t just look good — it performs beautifully throughout the year. We take into account Zimbabwe’s seasonal shifts, prevailing winds, and solar patterns to ensure optimal comfort and efficiency. From natural shade and ventilation to strategic window placement and roof overhangs, every detail is planned to enhance your living experience — whether it’s a blazing summer afternoon or a cool winter morning.
Design for Year-Round Living
Build a home that works in every season — inside and out. We design homes that blend indoor comfort with outdoor connection — giving you more usable space, all year long. From covered verandas and enclosed patios to built-in braai areas, fireplaces, and thoughtfully positioned courtyards, we create homes that adapt with the seasons. With smart climate planning and lifestyle-driven layouts, your home becomes a space to entertain, relax, and live — whether it’s a chilly winter evening or the height of summer.
Enhance Your Natural Setting
Let your home belong to the land — not just sit on it. Designing a home isn’t just about what you build — it’s also about how it fits into the landscape. We take the time to understand your site’s natural features, views, vegetation, and contours so that your home feels rooted and in harmony with its surroundings. From planning around mature trees to allowing space for future gardens, we design with growth, sunlight, and long-term beauty in mind — ensuring your home evolves gracefully with the environment around it. At Reno Property Developers, nature isn’t an obstacle — it’s an asset.
