Johannesburg notes on house designs
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.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Families building a new house: the family house on a suburban or estate stand, with a garage and a covered patio
- Owners adding or changing rooms: two extra bedrooms added to a small house, with the old and new work clearly shown
- Rental and granny flat investors: three bedroom houses designed for letting, with a durable finish and easy upkeep
- Developers and builders: three bedroom house types repeated across a cluster or a row of stands
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved plans or a clear listing layout for a three bedroom house on the market
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a manager's or owner's house next to a shop, lodge or workshop
- Churches, schools and crèches: a three bedroom parsonage or teacher's house on church or school grounds
Local tips for Johannesburg
Most asked for in Johannesburg: subdivision cottages, backyard rooms in Soweto and inner-city flat conversions. Who draws them: draughtspersons in most suburbs, architects in Parkhurst, Melville and the city centre. A useful tip: ask for the stand's zoning and any title deed conditions before the first sketch.
Around Johannesburg the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means the family house on a suburban or estate stand, with a garage and a covered patio. 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 erf number, stand size and any title deed limits
- Your layout preference: linear, L-shape or courtyard
- En-suite, family bathroom, scullery and garage wishes
- Whether there is an existing house on the stand
- Whether the plans must be submitted to council
A rough idea of the rooms is enough: the brief on this page turns it into a block plan and a floor area.
