Modern House Plans in North West
Modern designs in North West are drawn by local draughtspersons and architects who know the rainfall, wind and sun angles of North West, 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.
The main modern house plans page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.
North West notes on house designs
Rustenburg and Brits see steady demand for three bedroom brick houses with garage, scullery and a covered braai area, often built in phases by owners. Around Potchefstroom, double-storey student blocks and granny flats are common. In Mahikeng and surrounding villages, a hexagonal or round rondavel beside a face-brick main house is a familiar choice, and thatch roofs bring boundary distance rules.
Homes and buildings in North West
North West mixes platinum-belt towns with big farming country. Around Rustenburg and Brits, mine housing, new bonded townhouses and shops keep draughtspersons busy, while Potchefstroom's university brings student housing and the Hartbeespoort and Magaliesberg shorelines attract lifestyle estates and weekend homes. Klerksdorp, Lichtenburg and Mahikeng serve maize and cattle farms where farmhouses, sheds and workers' cottages are drawn. In the villages of Bojanala and Ngaka Modiri Molema, family homesteads often grow room by room, sometimes on land under traditional leadership. Dust, summer heat and occasional heavy rain shape roofs and drainage on most jobs.
