On the ground in Sandton
Timber garden offices and modular studios lead in Bryanston, Paulshof and Douglasdale, where people work from home and want a quiet room at the bottom of the garden. Wooden houses and log style cabins suit the larger stands in Morningside Manor and Woodmead. In Alexandra, nutec rooms and small prefab homes are put up on tiny stands, so measure carefully and ask about fire spacing to the next room.
Building prefab in Sandton
Large gardens in Bryanston, Hyde Park and Morningside give Sandton its own kind of prefab request: a pool house, a timber garden office, a staff room or a granny flat for a parent, finished well enough to sit beside an expensive house and passed through the council plan process. Complexes in Sunninghill, Lonehill and Rivonia have less space and stricter body corporate rules, so a small wendy or a storeroom is often all that is allowed. Alexandra, beside the Jukskei River, is a different picture, with backyard rooms on tiny stands and narrow lanes. Delivery comes from Wynberg, Marlboro and Kew. Old oaks and jacarandas shade many plots, which helps in summer but drops branches in storms, and hail and lightning are common.
Typical tiny houses requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a compact home or backyard unit for one or two, with a loft bed
