Benoni notes on house designs

Smallholding families look for farm-style houses with a wide stoep and a separate flat for staff or relatives, while Rynfield and Northmead homeowners add a bedroom wing or a granny flat in the back garden. In Lakefield, buyers choose a three-bedroom with a double garage and a modern flat roof. Ask how the roof falls and drains, since heavy afternoon storms load gutters here.

Homes and buildings in Benoni

Benoni is the lake town of the East Rand: older suburbs such as Northmead, Rynfield and Farrarmere have large stands with mature trees, Lakefield and Crystal Park hold newer family houses, and the smallholdings at Putfontein and Benoni AH carry sheds, stables and extra dwellings. Owners often ask for a second storey on a 1970s house, a granny flat for a parent, or a plan to subdivide a large erf. Daveyton and Etwatwa have their own mix of extended RDP houses and backyard rooms. Draughtspersons are spread through the suburbs and mostly work on residential jobs.

  • Shops, offices and restaurants: a flat-roof office or showroom with a glass front, a parapet and a covered entrance

Local tips for Benoni

Plans for Benoni are mostly drawn like this: draughtspersons across the suburbs, architects in Bedfordview and Edenvale. The requests that come up most: second storeys, granny flats, smallholding houses and stand subdivisions. When you ask for quotes, ask whether your smallholding allows a second dwelling before drawing a flat.

Around Benoni the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means a contemporary family house with open-plan living and a patio, designed for the stand's sun and views. Expect sANS 10400-XA fenestration checked as the baseline, and keep in mind: lake-edge flood lines and mining ground on the older east side: ask for a survey.

What to include in your request

  • The stand size, slope and which way it faces
  • Roof style: flat, mono-pitch or butterfly
  • Rooms wanted and how open-plan you like it
  • Estate or HOA design rules you must follow
  • Photos of houses you like, with your budget

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.
