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

House designs in Tzaneen: local notes
On Tzaneen's slopes, split-level houses that step down the hill suit better than one flat platform, with a stoep or deck facing the view over the orchards. Farm owners ask for modest two and three bedroom houses for managers and families, and small groups of rondavel-style rooms for staff. Lodges and guest cottages in Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof lean on timber, thatch and generous fireplaces.
Homes and buildings in Tzaneen
Tzaneen sits among avocado, mango and tea farms on the foot of the Drakensberg escarpment, and its plans reflect that: lodges and farmhouses on smallholdings off the Politsi and Letsitele roads, retirement homes in Aqua Park and Tzaneen Extension 13, and steep hillside stands where retaining walls and drainage take as much drawing time as the house. Further out, Nkowankowa and Lenyenye families build and extend township houses, and Haenertsburg and Magoebaskloof carry cottage-style houses and holiday lodges in cool, misty forest. Draughtspersons in town quote for the whole Mopani area and beyond.

Local tips for Tzaneen
Plans for Tzaneen are mostly drawn like this: draughtspersons along Danie Joubert Street, architects working from Aqua Park. The requests that come up most: farm worker housing, lodges and hillside houses on slopes. When you ask for quotes, ask for a site visit, because slope and runoff change the floor levels.
Around Tzaneen the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means a family house stacked on a small suburban stand, with bedrooms upstairs and a balcony. Expect sACAP-registered, ECSA engineer on structure as the baseline, and keep in mind: steep, wet slopes and heavy summer rain: ask about drainage and retaining walls.
What to include in your request
- The stand size, slope and zoning height limit
- Rooms wanted on each floor and any balcony
- Concrete slab or timber for the upper floor
- Whether this is a new house or an extra floor
- Neighbour and estate approval needed
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be. The brief below sketches the rooms and works out a floor area for you.
