Rondavel House Plans in Roodepoort

Draughtspersons around Roodepoort draw rondavels and hexagonal huts for homesteads, guest lodges and holiday farms across Gauteng. Tell them whether the stand is in a town, on a farm or under a traditional authority, and how far the hut will be from the boundary, because thatch and fire rules depend on it.

The main rondavel house plans page explains the drawings, the standards and the costs in more detail.

Roodepoort notes on house designs

Smallholding owners in Honeydew and Muldersdrift's edge often want a farmhouse with a wide stoep, a scullery and a flat for a worker or relative, set well back from the road. In Wilgeheuwel, young families build compact three-bedroom homes on 450 square metre stands in complexes. Florida's older owners favour modest two-bedroom houses or granny flats, designed to be easy for a retired couple to live in.

Homes and buildings in Roodepoort

Roodepoort stretches along the western Witwatersrand ridges, and its housing ranges widely. Florida, Wilro Park and Little Falls have 1960s and 1970s family houses that owners keep extending, while Ruimsig, Wilgeheuwel and Constantia Kloof hold newer estates and larger plots near the Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden. Honeydew has smallholdings, and Weltevredenpark and Radiokop mix houses with townhouses. Soweto's northern edge and Princess township are not far away, adding demand for backyard rooms. Some Roodepoort ground sits above old mine workings or dolomite, so soil checks are common in some areas. Plans are drawn by local draughtspersons, technologists and architects who quote directly.

Typical rondavel house plans requests in the area come from:

  • Families building a new house: a thatched round room as a lounge, studio or main bedroom added to the house
  • Owners adding or changing rooms: joining a rondavel to an existing house with a covered passage and a matching roof
  • Developers and builders: a small holiday village of repeat rondavel units on a coastal or bushveld stand
  • Farms, smallholdings and rural homesteads: a family homestead of several huts for sleeping, cooking and storing, built in phases
  • 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
  • Shops, offices and restaurants: guest rondavels with en-suites and decks for a lodge, guest farm or tea garden

Local tips for Roodepoort

Popular here: extensions in Florida, estate homes in Ruimsig and smallholding houses in Honeydew. Ask each draughtsperson about this: ask if your erf is on dolomite and whether council needs a soil report with plans. Who does the work: draughtspersons around Roodepoort CBD and Florida Road, architects serving Ruimsig.

Around Roodepoort the largest group asking is families building a new house, which usually means a thatched round room as a lounge, studio or main bedroom added to the house. Expect drawn to SANS 10400, thatch rules checked as the baseline, and keep in mind: dolomite and old mine ground in places: a geotechnical report is often asked for.

What to include in your request

  • Round, six corner or eight corner
  • Thatch, sheeting or tile roof
  • How many huts and how they link up
  • Distance to boundaries and other buildings
  • Whether it is a home, a rental or a lodge unit
