Bergstreme Developments has partnered with My Design Rules for the latest season of the White Box Series, a national design and construction competition airing on SABC3. The new season is being filmed at Paarl Valleij Lifestyle Estate, where Bergstreme Developments is the construction company responsible for building the featured homes.
As the appointed builder for the project, Bergstreme Developments has played a central role in preparing the homes for the competition. Known for their expertise in luxury home construction in the Cape Winelands, the company ensured that each white box was delivered with precise attention to detail and built to the highest standard. These identical starting units provide the perfect foundation for the design teams to showcase their talent throughout the competition.
The partnership between My Design Rules and Bergstreme Developments highlights the importance of collaboration within the building industry. With contributions from suppliers, designers, and builders, the White Box Series offers a realistic look at the process behind creating a home from concept to completion.

The White Box Series
The White Box Series follows design teams as they transform identical unfinished houses into completed, fully styled homes. This eight-part mini-documentary takes viewers behind the scenes of My Design Rules Season 2, capturing the creation of three stunning four-bedroom, double-story homes at the Paarl Valleij Lifestyle Estate. From initial concept and architectural planning to construction and finishing touches, the series follows the journey of each home as it transforms from raw earth to pristine white canvas.
Each team begins with a standard “white box” unit and must use creativity, design knowledge, and practical problem-solving to turn the space into a unique and functional home. The competition showcases how design vision and quality construction come together to create remarkable results.
