Maxxliving
Off-the-grid Homes in South Africa

Through Maxxliving he developed and deployed his revolutionary home concept in South Africa’s first timber-built, 100% off-the-grid estate. South Africa was the proving ground for a new manufacturing and construction technique.
The product development in South Africa laid the foundation for the launch of Beyond Brix in the American market. Arthur’s experience building and investing in South Africa also became the basis for his book, The Prosperity Trap, which reflects on the challenges, lessons, and opportunities of creating meaningful economic impact in the country.
