Double Storey House Plans in Centurion
In Centurion, a second floor is often the way to fit a family house onto a smaller stand or to catch a view. Draughtspersons in Gauteng can check height limits, building lines and neighbours' consent before the design starts, and arrange the engineer for the upper floor.

Centurion notes on house designs
A Centurion family usually wants three or four bedrooms, a double garage and a covered patio facing the garden, often on a stand under 600 square metres inside an estate. That pushes designs up to two storeys, with a bedroom wing above and living areas below. In Olievenhoutbosch and Rooihuiskraal, owners add a bedroom or two rooms to the back of a small house, and the stand's building lines set the limits.
Homes and buildings in Centurion
Centurion lies between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and its housing is dominated by estates and sectional title complexes. Heritage Hill, Irene Farm Villages, Midstream and Zwartkop have design guidelines and an aesthetics committee, so plans often go to the estate before the municipality. Older Lyttelton Manor, Eldoraigne and Wierda Park have family homes on 800 to 1,000 square metre stands, and Olievenhoutbosch and Laudium see extensions and backyard rooms. Dolomite underlies large parts of Centurion, so a geotechnical report is often needed in some areas. Buyers usually want double storey homes with a patio, and plans come from local draughtspersons, technologists and architects.
The requests we see from Centurion usually come from:
- Families building a new house: a family house stacked on a small suburban stand, with bedrooms upstairs and a balcony
- Developers and builders: double storey townhouses and house types that fit more units on a stand
- Owners adding or changing rooms: a second floor added to a single-storey house, after the foundations are checked
- Rental and granny flat investors: double storey units for letting, with separate floors for tenants or student rooms
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved plans for a two-floor home, including the upper floor, ready for transfer
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a shop below with a flat or office above on a narrow commercial erf
- Churches, schools and crèches: a two-floor classroom or hall block that saves space on a small site
