Pretoria notes on house designs

Mooikloof, Moreleta Park and Garsfontein buyers lean towards modern double storey homes with a braai area and flat roofs behind parapets. In Mamelodi East and Soshanguve, three-bedroom houses are usually built in stages on 300 to 500 square metre stands, starting with two rooms. Families in Villieria and Rietondale ask for granny flats that suit a retired parent, so check whether Tshwane's rules allow a second dwelling.

Homes and buildings in Pretoria

Pretoria has a different rhythm from Johannesburg: jacaranda streets, red-brick Victorian and Art Deco houses, and a ring of newer estates. Older suburbs such as Arcadia, Sunnyside, Brooklyn, Waterkloof and Muckleneuk hold buildings that may fall under heritage rules, while Hatfield and Sunnyside have student flats and rental blocks. To the east, Mooikloof and Faerie Glen are filling with modern double storey homes, and in the north Mamelodi, Soshanguve and Ga-Rankuwa see families extend their houses and add backyard rooms. Hills and rocky outcrops affect slopes, and the Apies River floods in places. Draughtspersons, technologists and architects across the city quote directly.

Typical 2 bedroom house plans requests in the area come from:

• Families building a new house: a first home on a modest stand, drawn small and ready for a third bedroom later
• Owners adding or changing rooms: an old two-roomed house reworked with a proper bathroom and an open-plan living area
• Rental and granny flat investors: two bedroom rental units on one erf, with separate entrances and meters
• Developers and builders: a repeatable two bedroom unit for a row of low cost houses or semi-detached pairs
• Shops, offices and restaurants: staff housing for a small business, drawn as compact two bedroom units
• Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved plans for a small house about to be sold, or a clear layout for the listing
• Churches, schools and crèches: a two bedroom caretaker's or minister's house beside a church or school

Local tips for Pretoria

Plans for Pretoria are mostly drawn like this: architects in Brooklyn and Waterkloof, draughtspersons across the east and north. The requests that come up most: heritage-area alterations, student flats near Hatfield and Mooikloof family homes. When you ask for quotes, ask if your old house sits in a heritage area before you plan alterations.

Jobs range from about 55 to 90 m² under the roof. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for a first home on a modest stand, drawn small and ready for a third bedroom later. One local point to raise: rocky hills and clay in places, floodplain along the Apies: ask about site levels.

What to include in your request
