The lapa

The lapa is one of the most uniquely African additions to any home or place of entertainment and Style and Craft certainly specialise in planning and building some of the most breath taking Lapas in the country. The lapa is can best be thought of as a variant of the much popular “gazebo” although the lapa has its own unique flare.

We consider the lapa to have that ethnic touch and sophistication missing from even the most eye catching Gazebo. The lapa reminds us of the South African braai, although not unique in concept, it’s simply irreplaceable in implementation and experience. Where Americans will have their barbeques us Africans have their braai’s, while we’re not here to tell you which of the two is better, it’s pretty clear to see which is closer to home.

Shade and memories

Speaking of home, we believe customers seeking quality and durability will find just the lapa with us here at Style and Craft. Our success hasn’t come from merely offering customers options from a brochure. Our success is built on the uncanny ability of selling our customers possibilities. Our workmanship and craftsmanship lead the industry.

Experience has taught us to nurture our customers’ needs in a manner than allows us to understand and surpass their expectations. The lapa can be used commercially, domestically or even to house and provide shade in large industrial like areas. The lapa is most commonly known as an open entertainment area with a thatched roof held up by poles.
