House designs in Germiston: local notes
On the older suburban stands, double storey additions and new two-bedroom cottages behind the main house are common. In Primrose and Elsburg, small families look for compact three-bedroom plans that fit narrow, deep stands with a side driveway. Ask the designer to check the building line along the street, because many Germiston roads were widened after the original houses went up.
Homes and buildings in Germiston
Germiston is an old railway and industrial town on the East Rand, with Victorian-era brick houses and tin roofs in Georgetown and Primrose, leafy larger stands in Dinwiddie and Lambton, and the upmarket edge of Bedfordview just north. Owners here tend to renovate rather than start again: pressed-ceiling cottages get new kitchens, garages become offices, and big erven are cut in two for a second house. Around the lake and along Rand Airport Road, workshops and small factories need layouts for fit-outs. Many buildings are old enough that a heritage check may be worth asking about.
Who asks for rondavel house plans around Germiston, most often first:
- Owners adding or changing rooms: joining a rondavel to an existing house with a covered passage and a matching roof
- Shops, offices and restaurants: guest rondavels with en-suites and decks for a lodge, guest farm or tea garden
- Families building a new house: a thatched round room as a lounge, studio or main bedroom added to the house
- Developers and builders: a small holiday village of repeat rondavel units on a coastal or bushveld stand
- Estate agents, sellers and landlords: approved drawings for a rondavel on a farm or smallholding being sold, so the bank accepts it
- Rental and granny flat investors: rental rondavels for tourists, drawn to the zoning and the fire rules for thatch
- Churches, schools and crèches: a round meeting room or crèche hut with good ventilation and a fire-safe roof
