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 have a 3 room house, consisting of 2 bedroom and Dining room and Kitchen in 1 Room , so i want to separate the Dining room and Kitchen , extent a little bit to have the kitchen separate, without the house losing its shape. Please Help. i have attached a picture of the house, the windows you see its the bedrooms and when you enter its the dining and kitchen in 1 wall.
create more space and to create natural flow, we have an idea in mind but we are looking for some advice as well.
We're interested in buying a house that is in the area we want but is too small. Our idea is to extend from the existing braai room to create the space for a larger living room and dining room and for the kitchen to then extend out into part of the existing living room. We would also need to add a study which we think could be built behind the garage and provide direct access from the home to the garage. We would also need a pool. Overall the extension would probably be around 30m2.
In the process of purchasing a piece of land 1ha, still waiting for transfer and would like to have a modern plan for a house like the picture attached. Plus minus sq with a pool. Need quotation on sq double story two double garages.
I need a plan for a house including a Cinder block fence around it. My plot is on a slope, so I need some sort of a feature along the fence for heavy rain water to be redirected away from the fence. I would like the house to be a large Open plan structure. Only one large dormitory style bedroom for 6 three-quarter beds along the opposite walls And a sliding door leading onto the patio. I would like 2 bathrooms against the walls opposite each other. An L shaped kitchen and island in the left hand corner and a fireplace in the right hand corner as you come in the front door of the house.
