House designs in Stellenbosch: local notes
House designs for Stellenbosch often adapt Cape Dutch and Georgian proportions: symmetrical gables, thick plastered walls and steep roofs, with modern interiors. Student-let designs in Uniepark favour four to six bedrooms with separate bathrooms and a shared kitchen. On the Paradyskloof and Brandwacht slopes, stands face the Simonsberg, so design windows and roofs for the south-easter and winter rain.
Homes and buildings in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university town built around oak-lined streets, and planning rules carry weight here. The historic core around Dorp Street is a heritage area, where owners of older houses need approval before altering walls, roofs and windows. Newer suburbs like Die Boord, Uniepark and Paradyskloof are full of student lets and family homes being extended. Estates around Devon Valley, Welgevonden and Jonkershoek have design committees. In Kayamandi, Cloetesville and Idas Valley, backyard rooms and extensions are common. Plans go to the Stellenbosch Local Municipality, where the heritage committee is often involved.
