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 want to renovate my small apartment. 1. There are some walls I want removed 2. I want to reduce the bathroom size and then modernise it. 3. I would like the kitchen to be opened up and modernised. 4. I would like a modular working corner. 5. I would like the sleeping area to be partitioned by frosted glass. 6. I would like the floors redone. The apartment is 41 square meters
Good Day - I am looking to do some internal changes in the house. I would like to open up the inside walls between the family room, dining room and kitchen. We need to understand which walls can be removed and which can't. From the plans we are not able to identify - therefore I am requesting quotes to see what new plans (if needed) would cost and how best to tackle this project. Thanks
I need someone who can help me choose suitable wall decorations, lighting and furniture colours that complement one another. I want the consultant to consider what is available in the house and help me choose colours of what is missing, as well as help by suggesting wall decor. It would be ideal if the consultant is able to simulate and provide a picture of what the house would look like at the end of the project.
We built our own house about 5 years ago but never finished the entrance/upstairs living area in terms of design and finishes. It has basically remained an open unfinished space since we moved in. We are now at the point whereby we would like to make use of the area but due to shape/size we are at a bit of a loss at how best to utilize the space. Hence the reason I am contacting you. Ideally I would like somebody to come in and construct some suggestions for review before proceeding to complete finish of project ranging from painting and wallpapering to installation of furnishings such as rugs, sofas, plants etc.
I am currently completing an interior design online course through the Institute of Interior Design, and as part of my coursework, I am trying to find out more about fee structures for interior designers in Cape Town. If you are willing to share, I would so appreciate a rough idea about the best type of fee structure, and the amount that would be charged. Many thanks,

We have recently moved into a modern apartment. Not all of previous furniture,works for the space aesthetically. Kitchen and living room are open plan so a flow and colours that work together would be great. Help required to put together looks and style the kitchen, living room and master bedroom.
I am designing an old existing house removing some walls and adding some. Creating an open plan from the kitchen, dinning and lounge. There was an existing 3rd bedroom that was opened up by the previous owner and I'm closing this up again into a 3rd bedroom and adding a full bathroom as en-suit. I need a quote urgently
