I would like to extend the house that i bought in an Estate in Centurion. The house is a double storey and i need to add a bedroom downstairs. I did hire an architect and have made the first submission to the Estate for approval. The plan was not approved and it came back with many corrections. The architect is taking long to make corrections and I would like to be assisted with correcting the plans in line with the Estate's requirements. I need to start with the building as soon as possible.
Good day, I am looking to build an AirBnB at a hillside plot in St Helena Bay (St Helena Views). The plot is amazingly situated - has the hills as its backdrop and sea view in front. I am looking to quickly build a small home which has large window walls/sliding doors and a deck. Minimalistic with lots of natural light. The hillside has a bushveld/dry/fynbos feel to it so I would like to create a space which compliments this. - The plot is m2 but the living area should be no more than m2 at the top most part of the property - There is a slope (i was thinking instead of excavating, one could use stilts to maintain the aesthetic) - Open plan kitchen, lounge downstairs - Large bathroom and bedroom leading to the deck where I am planning to put a hot tub for now. - Flat rooftop area just for views. - The estate only allows brick and mortar, and alternatively, nutec. They would allow wooden framing. - Cost effective Please see a few of the ideas attached. These buildings are larger. I am looking for a way to make get the same feel but on a smaller scale. Best regards
