29 Nonqane Crescent
Block 29, Nonqane Crescent, Soshanguve
A first home, drawn for compliance
The client came to Makena with a stand in Nonqane Crescent and a clear vision: a starter home that could grow with the family. The brief was tight on budget, generous on the way the house was meant to feel — north-facing living wing, three bedrooms, a kitchen that opened onto a covered stoep.
What made this project worth highlighting wasn't the size — it was the design discipline. Every square metre earned its place. The plan had to pass SANS 10400 first time, and the client wanted a fixed-fee quote, not a "from R..." with provisional sums.
Designed for compliance, drawn for buildability
Architectural plans drawn to SANS 10400-A through XA from the first sketch. Fenestration, daylight, ventilation, energy, glazing, fire — all sized on the page. The fixed-fee quote was drawn from the same complete plan. No allowances, no "extras once we open the wall."
The architect was on site at every pour, every window-set, every detail call. When the client asked to add a study nook in the third bedroom, the architect redesigned the elevation before the bricklayer started that wall, not after.
