THE GINGERBREAD HOUSE

The Gingerbread House in Bryanston, Johannesburg is a heritage building and the owners had made a number of changes to the house without building plans, including numerous internal alterations, a Bedroom and Bathroom extension upstairs and a Covered Entrance. The brief was to completely update the existing plans for the house and get the plans approved at Council.

The Front Entrance had a box gutter, so needed additional sign off from the Engineer who worked on the first floor slab over the Study for the Bedroom and Bathroom extension upstairs.

This was quite a complex project as the house has an unusual roof and there are several changes in levels throughout the house.
