Bloemfontein notes on house designs
Bloemfontein's newer suburbs, Langenhoven Park and Fichardt Park among them, favour double storey houses with four bedrooms and large glass, while older Waverley and Hilton owners want to adapt smaller houses. Student accommodation near the University of the Free State and the Central University of Technology drives plans for a cluster of small rooms with shared kitchens. Granny flats suit big Willows and Universitas stands.
Homes and buildings in Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is the judicial capital and a university city, with sandstone buildings in the centre, Art Deco blocks along Maitland Street and leafy older suburbs such as Westdene, Waverley and Willows. Large erven there are being subdivided for townhouses and flats, and buildings over 60 years old may need heritage approval. Newer estates and lifestyle developments sit toward Langenhoven Park, Brandwag, Bainsvlei and Fichardt Park, while Heidedal, Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu have township extensions. The ground varies from dolerite to expansive clay, so engineers matter. Draughtspersons and architects are well established here.

- Rental and granny flat investors: rental rondavels for tourists, drawn to the zoning and the fire rules for thatch
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved drawings for a rondavel on a farm or smallholding being sold, so the bank accepts it

- Churches, schools and crèches: a round meeting room or crèche hut with good ventilation and a fire-safe roof
