Secunda notes on house designs
Houses in Secunda tend to be compact and practical: two or three bedrooms, a single or double garage, and a back yard that is easy to wall. Families building in Embalenhle often want three bedrooms on a small stand, and ask for a plan with a flat or low-pitch roof that costs less. Granny flat and small house plans are popular for rental. Keep summer heat in mind and orient the main living area carefully on the stand.
Homes and buildings in Secunda
Secunda is a town that was planned and built in the 1970s for the petrochemical works, so its streets, stands and brick houses follow a regular pattern rather than the older-town sprawl of its neighbours. Owners in the Secunda extensions and around Lake Umuzi extend their houses with extra bedrooms, patios and flats, while Embalenhle and Trichardt see formal housing and backyard rooms for workers who come in from elsewhere. Evander, Kinross and Leandra add farm and smallholding plans. Because so many people rent, landlords and investors are a large share of the plan requests here.
Typical 4 bedroom house plans requests in the area come from:
- Rental and granny flat investors: four bedroom houses for shared rental or student housing, with en-suites where possible
- 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
- Shops, offices and restaurants: owner's residences next to a lodge, guest farm or manufacturing yard
- Owners adding or changing rooms: two bedrooms and a bathroom added to a three bedroom house, linked by a new passage
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved plans for a larger home, needed by the bank and the buyer at transfer
- Churches, schools and crèches: a four bedroom hostel house or pastor's residence on community land
