Winner: Inyoni Homes CC - Prince Sigcau
This home was designed for our clients who plan to retire on the south coast. It is a typical single story home built in a traditional colonial theme as required within the estate.
The home is built on a raft foundation. We have used clay bricks to construct the home with a Roan Satin face brick on the exterior. The engineer designed the raft with a ring beam that had a step back in it to give the illusion that the face brick comes up from the ground as if it were built on strip footings. The roof is prefabricated timber with roof tiles. Ceiling are 9mm gypsum board fully skimmed with shadow lines. The interior is plastered with two coats for a smooth finish. The floors are tiled with a tile selected by the client.

The scope of work on this project was to construct a double storey dwelling in Abrams Crest Estate in Kelso, on the mid-South Coast of KZN. The nature of the estate is of upmarket housing and so a challenge on the project was the “high-end” nature of the finishes. The estate poses several challenges with the strict rules that are imposed on contractors from the developer that limit the hours of work while also restricting work on weekends. Another challenge was the sandy soil conditions and the numerous levels involved in this multi-level dwelling which required complex cavity retaining walls. |
