Pretoria notes on house designs

Mooikloof, Moreleta Park and Garsfontein buyers lean towards modern double storey homes with a braai area and flat roofs behind parapets. In Mamelodi East and Soshanguve, three-bedroom houses are usually built in stages on 300 to 500 square metre stands, starting with two rooms. Families in Villieria and Rietondale ask for granny flats that suit a retired parent, so check whether Tshwane's rules allow a second dwelling.

Homes and buildings in Pretoria

Pretoria has a different rhythm from Johannesburg: jacaranda streets, red-brick Victorian and Art Deco houses, and a ring of newer estates. Older suburbs such as Arcadia, Sunnyside, Brooklyn, Waterkloof and Muckleneuk hold buildings that may fall under heritage rules, while Hatfield and Sunnyside have student flats and rental blocks. To the east, Mooikloof and Faerie Glen are filling with modern double storey homes, and in the north Mamelodi, Soshanguve and Ga-Rankuwa see families extend their houses and add backyard rooms. Hills and rocky outcrops affect slopes, and the Apies River floods in places. Draughtspersons, technologists and architects across the city quote directly.
