What to know locally in Durban
On a steep Berea or Bluff stand, a double storey often costs less than the earthworks needed to spread a single storey flat, and the entrance may sit on the upper level. In Chatsworth and Phoenix, three bedroom houses are often drawn with a cut-off wing for a future rental. Along the Umhlanga ridge, modern flat roof designs with big glass need proper overhangs and fenestration calculations.
Homes and buildings in Durban
Durban is a city of steep ridges and humid coast, and the plans reflect it. On the Berea, Morningside and Essenwood, older houses on big stands are being subdivided or converted into flats, while Umhlanga and Durban North fill with sectional title blocks and townhouse clusters. In Chatsworth, Phoenix, Umlazi and KwaMashu, owners extend existing houses and add rental rooms at the back. Slopes mean split levels, retaining walls and drainage that must be drawn properly, and salt air and damp shape the material notes. Most work is drawn by independent draughtspersons and technologists, with architects for the bigger or older properties.
