House designs in Germiston: local notes
On the older suburban stands, double storey additions and new two-bedroom cottages behind the main house are common. In Primrose and Elsburg, small families look for compact three-bedroom plans that fit narrow, deep stands with a side driveway. Ask the designer to check the building line along the street, because many Germiston roads were widened after the original houses went up.
Homes and buildings in Germiston
Germiston is an old railway and industrial town on the East Rand, with Victorian-era brick houses and tin roofs in Georgetown and Primrose, leafy larger stands in Dinwiddie and Lambton, and the upmarket edge of Bedfordview just north. Owners here tend to renovate rather than start again: pressed-ceiling cottages get new kitchens, garages become offices, and big erven are cut in two for a second house. Around the lake and along Rand Airport Road, workshops and small factories need layouts for fit-outs. Many buildings are old enough that a heritage check may be worth asking about.
The requests we see from Germiston usually come from:
- Owners adding or changing rooms: two bedrooms and a bathroom added to a three bedroom house, linked by a new passage
- Shops, offices and restaurants: owner's residences next to a lodge, guest farm or manufacturing yard
- Families building a new house: a large family house with a guest suite, a study and a double garage
- Developers and builders: four bedroom house types for a higher-end estate, with a choice of facades
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved plans for a larger home, needed by the bank and the buyer at transfer
- Rental and granny flat investors: four bedroom houses for shared rental or student housing, with en-suites where possible
- Churches, schools and crèches: a four bedroom hostel house or pastor's residence on community land
Local tips for Germiston
Popular here: renovations of older houses, workshop and warehouse fit-outs, stand subdivisions. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask if a house older than 60 years in Georgetown or Primrose needs a heritage check. Who does the work: draughtspersons across the suburbs, architects in Bedfordview and Germiston CBD.
Around Germiston the largest group asking is owners adding or changing rooms, which usually means two bedrooms and a bathroom added to a three bedroom house, linked by a new passage. Expect sACAP-registered, engineer for structure as the baseline, and keep in mind: old mine ground and fill near the rail yards: ask whether an engineer should check it.
