The farmhouse is a symbol of white power and privilege during apartheid. It is protected and sits above the farm (the representation of South Africa). As the farm is altered and modernized by Looksmart and his development company, it is "opened up" and light is allowed into it; this is a representation of the dismantling of the apartheid structure and its concomitant of white power in South Africa.
