Hello My name is Keshnie Pillay. I am the current treasurer of an organisation called . I am a doctor and unfortunately not able to take calls, it would be preferred if you reached out to me via email. We are a spiritual organisation and have currently acquired a plot of land in the agricultural community of Nonoti, Darnell, Northern KZN. Our intention for this land is to build the Centre of Benevolence. It will be phased as both a community service property serving food daily to the rural community. For that we will require a large feeding hall/ multipurpose hall. The centre will have, on its lands, 3 temples dedicated to various deities and our long term aspiration is to create living quarters and medication spaces (including lakes, caves etc) for our devotees. From an architectural point of view we require the following: - 3D Digital virtual model & Imagery (Renders) for Marketing purposes - Concept Plans for (Ganesh Temple, Dattatreya Temple, Shirdi Temple, Multifunctional Hall Including Feeding and Kitchen Area, Social interative spaces, Parking) - Master planning for activities being proposed on Site - Vaastu Design & Site Analysis (Documented) Our preference would be an architectural company that has prior experience in the development of such cultural/religious sites and an added bonus would someone who understands Indian architectural design (preferably a Vastu Consultant). If there are any further questions please feel free to contact me on my email address or mobile number. Kind Regards Keshnie Pillay
We recently bought a home in Lonehill and looking to renovate the home. It is an older home but has many possibilities and we are looking for something different and nice. We are planning a full renovation first and then will proceed with the interior styling. I am French and my English is not the best but I am able to discuss.
I am looking for someone who can design simple plans for small footprint homes ranging from 18 m² to m². I want to use them to get approval at Municipal level. I need my plans to be separated into 4 x phases. Foundation, structural, roofing and electrical/plumbing. They must also have the detailed quantities of materials for each phase. I have the basic designs. I have about 7 designs to start with and will be adding more as I expand.
2 bed 2.5 bath single story m2 house in modern Cape Dutch style. In the theewaterskloof country estate. m2 flat land aluminum windows and doors. Custom wood and glass front door. High foundation. Poured concrete/cemcrete floors in the house. Hardwood floors installed in bedrooms. No swimming pool, no garages. Gas gysers and stoves.
Please email me first with perhaps some links to previous projects as well as a website if applicable, we can then schedule a call. I have a single level house, I would like to build upwards and extend the lower level outwards as well. This would be quite an extensive project and I need to know what it all entails.
Sports clubhouse. To have a total floorspace of +/- -m2, approximate 10-12 x 20-25m building area. Reception area (counter), admin/office area for two people, ablution facilities for male and female (with single, private, shower in each) Bar/eating area with space for 5 or 6x four seater tables, including expanded kitchenette, i.e. no restaurant level cooking consideration is required. A covered patio/veranda area (not included in the floorspace above) will also be preferred.
We have a technician who has laid out the flow according to what we want for our home. We have been living here for a long time and have very specific needs. We are 90% there but we require design services to tie into the new build area and we need the plans to be made compliant so that they will be accepted by the City of Cape Town.
