Do I need an architect if I want to build a house in South Africa?
A professional that is registered with the South African Council for the Architectural Profession must submit the building plans before extending, renovating or building a home.
I would love an eco friendly house made of steel and solar glass with primarily wood floors and nutec ceilings...raised if possible with only a master suite on top oor with wic and full bath along with a small fireplace and a huge patio all round. This would ensure mountain and sea views all round. 2 bedrooms below, 1 shared bathroom...the rest open plan. Lounge brick built fireplace. Solar panels for off the grid living. Gas geyser and oven, led lights. French doors opening to patio with brick built braai under cover. It also has a panhandle of approximately 45x3M long so I need a swing gate (remote) at entrance. And auto garage opening with direct access to the house. The ground is reasonable flat. The roof should be as flat as possible but designed to collect as much rainwater as possible. Also planning a grey water system. Oh apparently I need to have a sewage pit? Phew that's a lot, let me know of you need any further details.
