The estate requires that the design of the house be a South African vernacular farm and country style, but I would like it to have a very modern twist to it.

I want to build a small 34 sqm flatlet consisting of 3 total rooms. I want to use the cheapest building option (vibrecrete / nutec / brick and mortar) and i would like to have the flatlet build all the way up onto the boundary wall. The boundary wall is vibrecrete. I would like to if possible use the existing vibrecrete boundary wall as the new flatlets exterior wall if possible thereby saving costs. I do not know the building regulations and what is possible but we have a very limited space available. Also not sure where the drainage pipe are located but that might be an issue as well.
