Rustenburg notes on house designs
Rustenburg families commonly build three- and four-bedroom houses with a garage and a braai area, often drawn with generous overhangs for summer heat. On the lower plain where black turf is found, designs keep the footprint simple so the engineer can specify a raft or stiffened slab. In Boitekong, owners ask for small houses that can be extended, and in Phokeng a rondavel cluster or a modern flat-roof house is a common brief.

Rustenburg is a mining city under the Magaliesberg, where platinum shafts, smelters and tailings dams share the plain with suburbs and villages. Older houses in Cashan, Karlien Park, Waterkloof and Geelhout Park are being extended, and Zinniaville and Safari Gardens hold sectional title complexes and older brick houses. Boitekong and Tlhabane grow with RDP houses, rooms to let and small shops. Phokeng and the nearby villages lie on land under the Bafokeng and other traditional authorities, which affects how plans are lodged. Black turf soil in parts of the plain is a regular concern for foundations.
