House designs in Bellville: local notes
Typical Bellville designs are three- and four-bedroom face-brick or plastered homes with a double garage, plus double storeys on smaller Panorama stands. On the Plattekloof slopes, split-level layouts follow the hill and reduce cut and fill. Cavity walls and good waterproofing matter in the wet winters. Ask how your design copes with the north-west rain and the summer south-easter.
Homes and buildings in Bellville
Bellville has grown from a Tygerberg railway town into the northern suburbs' business centre, and plans here reflect that. Office towers and flats are replacing older houses along Voortrekker Road and Tygervalley, while Welgemoed, Plattekloof and Oakdale hold family homes on mid-sized stands that owners extend and subdivide. Student lets cluster near the CPUT and UWC campuses. Panorama and Durbanville add hillside stands with views over the Tygerberg and wheat country. Sandy soil, the south-easter and heavy winter rain affect foundations and roofs, and every plan goes to the City of Cape Town's northern district.
Typical small house plans requests in the area come from:
- Developers and builders: small starter houses in a row, using one plan type to keep costs and drawing fees down
