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.
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
Hi, I was advised by the council to contact a architect regarding internal alterations in my apartment. I have added a entryway (load bearing wall) to a room which I would like to convert to a lounge, close off my passage way and add a shower, basin and toilet to my lounge area. I need assistance in submitting these plans. Please advise cost etc.
We have a 7 Year Old Double Story Home on a Farming Estate. We have over the past 5 years bought and replaced some furniture in and around our home, however, are really needing the assistance of a professional to give us some sketches and interior design ideas on the layout of rooms, how to utilize certain spaces as well as assistance with ideas for paint and furnishings to give the house a makeover.
I need assistance with tying together a small living room and dining room space so that it flows into each other. Already chose couches but the colours may pose a challenge because of the kitchen design I do have pieces I'd like so would also appreciate input on incorporating them. Please feel free to contact me for more info.

I am a medical doctor and I want to start a private practice. I found a place to rent which is only 1 room, it is 21 square meters in size. it has its own sink and toilet. what I want is for the room to be divided into 2, so that we can have one office and a small reception area for the secretary. I would also like the furniture like the reception desk and a bit of decor in the reception area. then in my office, I would like the table, chair and cupboards for item storage. outside the rental space, I would like a patio, with artificial grass on the floor. the patio will cover an area of about 20 square meters. It will have a glass enclosure with curtains. the patio area will be used as a waiting area for my clients.
We really want someone to bring our ideas to reality. We recently bought a space and completely broke it down and had it redone so we now have a 4 bedroom space. Now we need help with designing, bathrooms, kitchen, lounge, literally everything. We have ideas but need help putting it all together. We need someone who can assist with where to put what, how and where to put cupboards. Basically we just need to know what works and what won't.
