Of the many remaining civil servants’ houses built in Windhoek during the German Colonial Period, houses h and m remain in an excellent state of preservation due to the care given to them by the Namibia Scientific Society, which has been their custodian since the mid-1980s. Little is known about the history of the two houses or their innate technical, aesthetic, and spatial values, which determine their historical significance. This paper addresses this gap while evaluating previous restoration and re-use approaches against the preservation of these values.
