The original house measures about 1800sqm with an additional 250sqm for support building services such as the presenter and artists’ lounges and an art room where all the props for the arena games are made.
All pieces in the house were locally sourced with close to 75 artisans working to bring this season’s theme to life.
Come take a look.
The lounge area




The design aesthetic in the common areas of the house features bright colours and geometric shapes with accents of African décor pieces in strategic locations. The gold lion statue at the foot of the Head of House chair is also worthy of note.
The (new) games lounge



This mezzanine floor features a brand new indoor games lounge with a trophy cabinet. The indoor games lounge will be the ultimate fun zone for the housemates with a snooker board, table football and tennis. The games lounge overlooks the dining area with the balcony railing lined with tribal design potted plants.
