The Developer and a panel of Controlling Professionals will be referred to as Elephant Rock Eco Estate (E.R.E.E.) Home

Owners Association (H.O.A.), Architectural Review Committee (A.R.C.) and their decisions will be final.

The A.R.C. is required to develop the architectural language for E.R.E.E., prepare Architectural guidelines and monitor it.

They will be formed with a mandate, controlling and implementation of the Architectural guidelines.

E.R.E.E. – A.R.C. will comprise representatives of the Developer as well as representatives of the controlling Review

Committee.

No person shall develop a vacant property at E.R.E.E., nor extend or alter any development there on in a manner or

style inconsistent with the prevailing architectural theme that is more fully described below. Additional controls are also

derailed herein.

The registered owners of the properties are responsible to ensure that members of their families, tenants, guests/visitors,

friends and all their employees abide by these rules.

The purpose of these design guidelines is to safeguard the Developer’s as well as the PURCHASER’s rights.

The guidelines are to encourage creativity whilst ensuring a harmonious degree of uniformity of materials and

finishes.

The guidelines will be implemented to ensure a sensitively constructed, eco-friendly environment with high

quality aesthetics, practical design principles and attention to individual privacy, while combining the earth

natural aspects of nature.

It is not the intention to unreasonably restrict building design. The Architectural Guidelines are a condition of the

Agreement of Sale and will be enforced by the EREE-H.O.A. The EREE-H.O.A. shall in addition to any other

remedy, be entitled to impose fines in respect of approved building plan deviations.

2

The Developer and a panel of Controlling Professionals of Elephant Rock Eco Estate, at their sole discretion,

reserve the right to amend these architectural guidelines for the benefit and protecting the value of individual

homes of the owners and in the interests of the development as well as the environment. This will be done

without consultation with the PURCHASER, but with the input from the Professional team associated with the

project, and will be uploaded on the website. A notification to all Purchasers will be sent out each time there is

an amendment to the Architectural Guidelines. No amendment may be made retrospectively.

Should there be a conflict between the terms of these Architectural Guidelines and the terms of the Articles of

Association of Elephant Rock Eco Estate, Home Owners Association, and Articles of Association shall prevail.

The architectural style of the buildings will have to merge into the natural backdrop, good proportions, colors

and massing with a balance of natural materials, forms and shapes, these design elements will connect the

structures to nature and create harmony rather than contrast.

The architectural intention is to embrace, adapt, interpret and incorporate the natural environment in a

manner, which not only protects the natural environment, but also enhances it.

True architecture reflects an unpretentious style in buildings, and utilizes a simple yet clear visual language that

will communicate strongly with the people who use them and fulfill the essential purpose they are designed for,

always responding to the environment in which they are built.

The architectural style of the building will be considered in conjunction with that of other houses in the area, as

well as aesthetic appearance and the proposed placing of the building, and such other factors as the Elephant

Rock Eco Estate Home Owners' Association in its entire discretion may deem appropriate.

Every effort will be made to ensure that high standards are observed by all stand owners. However, the right to

final approval of building plans ultimately vests in the Local Authority and no assurance can be given to

individual owners that such standards will be adopted throughout the development.

The construction or improvements should be concluded within 5 (five) years from date of registration of transfer

of ownership to the first purchaser (owner). In order to reduce inconvenience to neighbors and to prevent

unsightliness, construction should proceed without lengthy interruptions, and should in any event be completed

within one year from commencement.

Phased design should be handled in such a way that the end of each phase should be aesthetically

acceptable to the Elephant Rock Eco Estate Home Owners' Association. Any deviation from the above time

limits will be subject to penalties calculated on a daily basis according to tariffs determined by the Directors of

the Elephant Rock Eco Estate Home Owners' Association

The general style prescribed TRADITIONAL & MODERN FARM STYLE with natural look and natural outside finishing’s

and colours:

TYPICAL HOUSE FORMS & MATERIALS: - see annexure

1 The magnificence in Topography, some sites are particularly steep and create beautiful views over natural

features. The conservation area is such beautiful hills overlooking the river and wildlife. The natural views lend it

to creative designs and lookout areas. The emphasis should be on the utilization of natural and eco materials,

textures and colors.

2 The design of the dwelling unit or any development on the stand should show a special sensitivity to the existing

natural features, flora and topography.

3 To create this architectural language that responds to the environment determining factor to consider would

be: Climate; Views; Orientation; Topography; Functionality; Durability; Eco-Materials; Natural Elements.

4 With the facts take into consideration, most of these stands on the E.R.E.E. do have Northern; Eastern; Southern,

and Western views, and with the climate in this area, it’s recommended that the Northern and Western sun be

avoid. This will make that it will not be the normal North orientation designs.

5 It’s recommended that Cavity walls with approved Insulation or Structurally Insulated Panels, or SIPs as they are

commonly referenced be used.

6 Covered verandas and covered patios, with shading shutters will be advised.

7 The living areas of surrounding structures must still be taken into account in the design process due to above

mentioned facts. Screening to protect Neighbours privacy must form part of the design.

8 The dwelling should be designed around existing trees to avoid having to remove them. It’s been

recommended to make use of wooden decking or natural stone (slate) to create cozy areas under the trees.

See Landscape.

9 It is the client’s responsibility to appoint a Professional Land Surveyor – to plot trees all contours of the stand,

before the Design Professional can continue with the design. Seeing that most of the stands are gradient stands,

it’s of Highly Importance for the Designer to have the correct contours to design the building in the envelope

(height restriction of 10m – following the contours on site) and to keep most of the existing trees.

10 The Professional Land Surveyor has to set out the building after council approval, before the builder

commenced with the building work.

1 No Fencing of the boundaries of a stand will be allowed;

2 The natural environment will be left untouched except for that area designated by the Home Owners'

Association for the erection of the buildings on the stand and garden purposes not exceeding 2 000 square

meters. Even on this area the environment must be disturbed as little as possible. The purpose hereof is to impose

as little as possible on the natural habitat of the game and create the feeling of "being in the bush" as opposed

to city living.

3 Therefore no trees, bush, grass or any natural growth will be disturbed or removed without written approval of

the Home Owners' Association as this also serves as natural screening of buildings from the roads and buildings

on adjacent stands.

4 If solid walling is required to enhance the privacy of certain parts of the property (for example, to screen the

swimming pool from the road or adjacent stands), then such walling should be as low as possible, and should

not extend for more than 50 % of its length as a continuous line parallel to the road boundary. If a solid wall is

unavoidable, a stepped-back or articulated wall is considered more acceptable. This will however only be

allowed on the area designated by the Home Owners' Association for the erection of buildings not exceeding 2

000 square meters.

5 The Directors must approve all garden walls and fencing with regard to both material and dimensions.

4

6 All TV aerials should be concealed and not externally visible. The position, size and siting of satellite dishes must
