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.
Looking to make a few additions and renovations. Remove a wall to have an open plan kitchen. Extend a section outside along the garage to create a Skullary wash up area for the kitchen. Close off the main bedroom to have an additional room and build a new mainbedroom, bathroom, walkin closet. You can whatsapp, please
I just bought a house and the current kitchen is too small and is upstairs close to bedrooms. There was a room that I believe was initially a garage which I would like to turn into a new kitchen but it's 10m length but only 3m width and now am not sure if this kitchen will be nice there. Again I would like to make additions. 2 bedrooms and living room, preferably a double storey add-on. Finally this house has a pool in front yard and I would like a privacy wall that will look nice .

We are in the process of designing a home that is to be built in a wildlife estate in Hoedspruit, Limpopo. Key design features include: - Single story, between and sqm, 3 bedrooms with a double garage. - 35 degree Croma deck roofing. - Off-grid infrastructure with % solar power, Eskom power as back-up. - Underground grey water tank (Showers, basins excluding kitchen and washing machine water outlet). - French drain self managed sewer system, given that the estate does not accommodate for municipal sewage infrastructure. We have a proposed layout in mind with basic floor sketches available, which should make the architecture design phase of this initiative reasonably quick and easy.
