2 Bedroom House Plans in Johannesburg
In Johannesburg, a two bedroom house is a common first build for young families and a popular size for retirement cottages and rental units. Draughtspersons working in Gauteng can fit the layout to your stand, check the local building lines and submit the drawings to the municipality for you.
The main 2 bedroom house plans page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.
House designs in Johannesburg: local notes
In Soweto, a three-bedroom house on a township stand such as Protea Glen or Chiawelo has to sit inside narrow building lines and often grows in phases. Northern suburbs families lean towards double storey homes with a covered patio and a scullery, while Bez Valley and Kensington owners ask for compact two-bedroom homes and granny flats at the back. Brief the draughtsperson on your future rooms from day one.
Homes and buildings in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a patchwork of building types, and the plans differ with each one. In Parkview, Emmarentia, Melville and Linden, old stands of 1,000 square metres and more are being subdivided or filled with garden cottages, while Braamfontein, Maboneng and Jeppestown have offices and warehouses turned into flats. Soweto's Dobsonville, Meadowlands and Orlando West see families extending RDP and four-room houses, with backyard rooms for tenants. The ridges of the Witwatersrand give sloping stands, and mining ground in the south needs care. Plans are drawn by local draughtspersons, architectural technologists and architects, who quote you directly once your request reaches them.

Local tips for Johannesburg
Popular here: subdivision cottages, backyard rooms in Soweto and inner-city flat conversions. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask for the stand's zoning and any title deed conditions before the first sketch. Who does the work: draughtspersons in most suburbs, architects in Parkhurst, Melville and the city centre.
Around Johannesburg the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means a first home on a modest stand, drawn small and ready for a third bedroom later. Expect sACAP-registered, drawn to SANS 10400 as the baseline, and keep in mind: ridges and mine ground in the south: ask about a soil report and engineer's footings.
What to include in your request
- The stand size, erf number and street address
- One bathroom or two, open-plan or closed kitchen
- Whether you want to add a third bedroom later
- Your budget and roof type, such as IBR sheeting
- Whether the drawings must go to council
