We are looking at building a house of m2.

Attached Plans that I have for the current Structure. We would like to remodel and add on, we would also like the plans to include future addons that we would like to achieve so as that when we are in the position to do those addons we do not need new plans etc. I also attach a rough sketch of our intensions.
We currently have a tiny house (4 m long by 2.3 wide ) which fits a double bed, shelves bath and toilet. We want to extend by building an upstairs section over the existing footprint (so 4 m x 2.3) with an outside deck extension that also acts as a double covered garage (no sides needed on the garage) just decking and paving floor. Please send me a wtsapp text

We would like to extend our bathroom, add a shower, add an additional 3 rooms and a courtyard. This will all be added to an outside room that we are currently using as a bedroom, the one room will be a lounge open plan kitchen. The other two rooms, one will be a second bedroom and the other will be made into a study. We want the bathroom, kitchen and study to all lead to the courtyard.
I want to sell my house and there are some of the rooms like garage and an extra room which is not on the house plans I got from the Municipality 20 years ago. I would like an Architect to help me with the additions of these rooms so that I will submit them again to the Municipality.
