Modern House Plans in Centurion
Modern designs in Centurion are drawn by local draughtspersons and architects who know the rainfall, wind and sun angles of Gauteng, and the rules of the nearby estates and the municipality. Give the stand size and slope, and say whether you want a flat, mono-pitch or butterfly roof so the quotes match.

What to know locally in Centurion
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 contemporary family house with open-plan living and a patio, designed for the stand's sun and views
- Developers and builders: repeatable flat-roof house types for a small estate, drawn to pass the design committee
- Owners adding or changing rooms: modernising an old pitched-roof house with a new flat-roof wing and bigger openings
- Rental and granny flat investors: compact modern rental units on one stand, with a shared roof line and separate entrances
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: a clear set of approved modern plans to show buyers who ask what can be built on the stand
- Shops, offices and restaurants: a flat-roof office or showroom with a glass front, a parapet and a covered entrance
- Churches, schools and crèches: a flat-roof clinic or church annex with simple detailing and easy maintenance
Local tips for Centurion
Most asked for in Centurion: new estate homes with design review, townhouse complexes and extensions in Lyttelton. Who draws them: draughtspersons around Centurion CBD and Highveld, architects serving the estates. A useful tip: ask the estate for its design guidelines and whether review precedes council.
Jobs range from about 100 m² to 400 m² houses. Here, families building a new house lead the requests, typically for a contemporary family house with open-plan living and a patio, designed for the stand's sun and views. One local point to raise: dolomite in places: sinkhole stability and a geotechnical report may be required.
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.
