2 Bedroom House Plans in Upington
In Upington, 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 Northern Cape 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.
Upington notes on house designs
Upington families ask for single storey houses with big roof overhangs, covered stoeps and a courtyard or braai area for the cool evenings, and with north-facing windows shaded for the summer sun. Flat-roofed modern houses suit the dry climate well. Farm owners along the river often need a second house for a manager and cottages for seasonal workers, while Paballelo owners add backyard rooms for family or rent.
Homes and buildings in Upington
Upington is an oasis town on the Orange River, where vineyards, date palms and raisin farms push right up to the edge of the Kalahari. Houses in Rosedale, Oasis and Progress are face-brick or plastered with deep stoeps and shade, while Paballelo and Louisvale have township homes and backyard rooms. Outside town, river-front stands at Kakamas, Keimoes and Kanoneiland call for farmhouses, lodges and packing sheds. Summer heat of 40 degrees is normal, so orientation, thick walls and roof shading shape every drawing. Draughtspersons in Upington travel along the river to measure up.
