Our Developer
Jobs. Profit. Culture. MAXXLIVING is at the forefront of innovation in sustainable housing, leading the way with a vision that creates opportunities for all. By developing strong local partnerships, MAXXLIVING has already trained and empowered around 60 local individuals through a formal, accredited skills development program. These participants have gained expertise in carpentry, timber construction, and sustainable building practices, enabling them to construct these cutting-edge timber homes with precision and craftsmanship. This initiative not only uplifts local communities but also fosters lasting relationships between residents and the people who build these homes, creating a culture of shared pride and connection. ​ Why Timber? Timber homes are a hallmark of sustainable, modern living, combining elegance with practicality. Around the globe, timber structures have proven their durability and environmental benefits. Iconic examples include Norway’s Mjøstårnet, the tallest timber building in the world, and the Timber House in London, celebrated for its aesthetic and eco-friendly design. In Australia and New Zealand, entire communities are embracing timber homes for their superior insulation, carbon-neutral construction, and timeless charm. Unlike traditional building materials like bricks and cement, timber construction significantly reduces carbon emissions. Timber is renewable, recyclable, and naturally energy-efficient, providing a healthier and more sustainable living environment. It has also been scientifically proven that living in timber homes reduces stress and fosters well-being, thanks to the natural warmth and connection to nature it provides. ​ Our Flagship Project Country Gardens Estate represents MAXXLIVING's flagship development, where innovation meets sustainability. Every home in the estate is designed with off-grid living in mind, offering residents modern comfort while reducing their environmental footprint. From here, MAXXLIVING plans to expand its offering, providing timber homes to private buyers, developers, and communities across South Africa. By choosing a MAXXLIVING home, you’re not just investing in a property—you’re investing in a brighter, more sustainable future. MAXXLIVING is proud to pioneer a movement that combines environmental responsibility, community upliftment, and affordable luxury to redefine how South Africans live.
