INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1 INTRODUCTION
THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN INITIATED BY THE ARCHITECTURE DEPARTMENT OF THE ETHEKWINI
MUNICIPALITY TO DEVELOP HOUSING TYPOLOGIES FOR THE DELIVERE OF NEW PROJETS AND
EXISTING SETTLEMENT UPGRADE PROJECTS IN THE ETHEKWINI MUNICPAL REGION
THE STUDY IS TO INTEGRATE TOWN PLANNING, URBAN DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE
COMPONENTS
THE INTENTION IS TO IDENTIFY PRACTICES WHICH OPTIMISE BOTH THE QUALITY AND
SUSTAINABILITY OF RESULTANT LIVING ENVIRONMENTS
2 BACKGROUND
DESPITE THE DELIVERY OF ALMOST 2 MILL HOUSING UNITS BY GOVERNMENT SINCE 1994, THE
DOMINANT HOUSING TYPOLOGY CONTINUES TO BE DETACHED, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES ON
LARGER FREE HOLD PLOTS
THE INCREASING PRESSURE ON URBAN LAND, DEMANDS FOR OPTIMISING EXISTING SERVICE
INFRASTRUCTURE AND THE NEGATIVE SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF DEVELOPING ON
THE URBAN PERIPHERY HAVE NECESSITATED A REVIEW OF THE LOCATION AND DESIRED
DENSITIES OF HOUSING SETTLEMENTS
IT HAS BECOME NECESSARY THAT THE SUPPLY OF HOUSING BE MORE RECEPTIVE TO THE
REDEVELOPMENT OF SITES LOCATED WITHIN ALREADY SERVICED AND DEVELOPED AREAS AS
WELL AS THE UPGRADING OF EXISTING SETTLEMENTS
A STUDY AND DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING TYPOLOGIES APPLICABLE TO
PREVAILING LOCAL CONDITIONS (TYPOGRAPHY, CLIMATE, TECHNOLOGIES AND FINANCE)
WILL ASSIST IN MEETING THE URBAN HOUSING CHALLENGE WITH GREATER AUTHORITY,
EFFICIENCY AND UNDERSTANDING

OBJECTIVES AND DEFINITIONS
3 PROJECT OBJECTIVES
TO INFORM THE OPTIMISATION OF QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY IN THE DESIGN AND

ONGOING DELIVERY OF SUBSIDY HOUSING
TO DETERMINE OPTIMAL HOUSING TYPOLOGIES FOR APPLICATION IN INFORMAL SETTLEMENT
UPGRADING AND GREENFIELD PROJECTS WITHIN THE URBAN AREA OF ETHEKWINI
4 DEFINING HOUSING TYPOLOGY
HOUSING TYPOLOGY ENCOMPASSES ATTRIBUTES OF FUNCTION AND CONFIGURATION

CHARACTERISTICS OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE BUILDINGS AND THE SPACES AROUND THESE
BUILDINGS THROUGH CONSTRUCTION
TYPOLOGY MUST CONSIDER ASPECTS OF TOWN PLANNING AND URBAN DESIGN AS WELL AS
THE DETAIL OF MULTI-UNITS OR RESIDENTIAL CLUSTERS
TYPOLOGY HAS A TIME DIMENSION AND THEREFORE MUST CONSIDER FLEXIBILITY,
ADAPTABILITY AND TRANSFORMATION OVER TIME
THE QUALITY OF HOUSING TYPOLOGY MUST CONSIDER CONTEXT WHICH IS DEPENDANT ON A
NUMBER OF FACTORS INCLUDING THE LOCATION OF SERVICES, THE BALANCE BETWEEN
PRIVATE, SEMI PRIVATE, COMMUNAL AMD PUBLIC SPACE, THE MIX OF RESIDENTIAL AND NON-
RESIDENTIAL USE AND THE END-USERS SOCIAL AND CULTURAL STRUCTURES
IN ETHEKWINI THE CONSIDERATION OF TYPOLOGY IN RELATION TO TOPGRAPHY IS CRITICAL
AS MANY INFORMAL SETTLEMENTS ARE FOUNDED ON STEEP AND UNSTABLE LAND. STEEP
SLOPES IMPOSE HIGHER BUILDING AND INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS AND CREATE DIFFICULTIES
OF ACCESS REQUIRING GREATER CARE IN THE DESIGN AND LAYOUT OF HOUSES

CONTENTS
1 BUILDING THE TYPOLOGY MATRIX

IN WHICH THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE BASIC TYPOLOGY MATRIX ARE UTILISED TO
DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE MATRIX OF ALL FEASIBLE LOW-INCOME HOUSING TYPOLOGIES.
(44 TYPOLOGIES)
2 SELECTING APPROPRIATE TYPOLOGIES

IN WHICH CERTAIN TYPOLOGIES FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE MATRIX ARE ELIMINATED TO
IDENTIFY TYPOLOGIES THAT MEET ALL SOUTH AFRICAN LEGAL, COSTING AND SUBSIDY
CRITERIA REQUIREMENTS.
(24 TYPOLOGIES)
3 AN ARCHITECTURAL RESPONSE
IN WHICH A PROCESS IS FOLLOWED TO IDENTIFY A SELECT NUMBER OF TYPOLOGIES THAT
ARE MOST APPROPRIATE TO ETHEKWINI SOCIAL, SPATIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
(6 TYPOLOGIES)
4 VARIATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

IN WHICH BROAD INDICATIONS ARE GIVEN ON HOW THE BASIC TYPOLOGY FOOTPRINTS CAN
BE VARIED, COMBINED OR APPLIED TO SPECIFIC CONDITIONS TO SAVE TIME AND MONEY OR
MEET ALTERNATIVE SOCIAL REQUIREMENTS.
5 COSTINGS
IN WHICH BROAD COSTINGS FOR THE 24 TYPOLOGIES AS WELL AS MORE DETAILED COSTINGS
FOR THE 6 SELECTED TYPOLOGIES ARE PROVIDED.
8
SYNOPSIS
THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE TYPOLOGY MATRIX ARE THE THREE BASIC HOUSE FORMS,
NAMELY:
NARROW FRONTAGE
MEDIUM FRONTAGE; AND
WIDE FRONTAGE
USING THESE BUILDING BLOCKS IT IS POSSIBLE TO GENERATE A MATRIX OF 44 POSSIBLE

LOW-INCOME HOUSE TYPOLOGIES. HOWEVER OF THE 44 ONLY 24 TYPES QUALIFY FOR SOUTH
AFRICAN HOUSING SUBSIDIES.
THESE 24 TYPES ARE ALL FEASIBLE FOR USE IN LOW INCOME HOUSING PROJECTS BUT 6
HAVE BEEN SELECTED AS BEING MOST APPROPRIATE FOR USE IN ETHEKWINI IN THAT THEY
CAN BE DEVELOPED ON STEEP SLOPES, ARE RELATIVELY CHEAP TO CONSTRUCT, EMPLOY
SIMPLE CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS AND USING APPROPRIATE LAYOUTS
WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE DENSITIES.
HOWEVER ALL 44 TYPES ARE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE A RANGE OF

ARCHITECTURAL RESPONSES, YET ROBUST ENOUGH TO LIMIT THE NEED FOR EXTENSIVE
REDESIGN AND COSTING EVERY TIME A NEW SITE IS DEVELOPED.
FINALLY AN INDICATION OF HOW THE BASIC BUILDING BLOCKS CAN BE USED TO GENERATE
ADDITIONAL ALTERNATIVE HOUSING TYPOLOGIES (SINGLE QUARTERS, ESSENTIAL SERVICE
CORE PROVISION ETC) IS PROVIDED.

TYPOLOGY BUILDING BLOCKS
THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF THE TYPOLOGY MATRIX ARE THE THREE BASIC HOUSE FORMS,
NAMELY:
NARROW FRONTAGE
MEDIUM FRONTAGE; AND
WIDE FRONTAGE.
THE BASIC FORMAT FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE TYPOLOGY MATRIX IS AS FOLLOWS:
COLUMNS INDICATE SINGLE, DOUBLE AND MULTIPLE STOREY BUILDING OPTIONS,

EACH COLUMN IS SUBDIVIDED INTO DETACHED, SEMI-DETACHED OR ROW HOUSING
OPTIONS.
ROWS INDICATE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN SINGLE OWNERSHIP, RESIDENTIAL USES IN
MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP OR MIXED USE BUILDINGS WITH NON-RESIDENTIAL USES ON THE
GROUND FLOOR AND RESIDENTIAL USES ON THE UPPER FLOORS.
ALL FEASIBLE TYPOLOGIES ARE INDICATED GRAPHICALLY, UNFEASIBLE LOW-INCOME

OPTIONS ARE BLANKED OUT IN RED.
IN THE CASE OF NARROW FRONTAGE TYPOLOGIES IT WOULD, FOR EXAMPLE, BE UNFEASIBLE

FROM A COST AND PRACTICAL POINT OF VIEW TO DEVELOP A MULTIPLE STOREY BUILDING
COMPRISING DETACHED, LOW-INCOME, RESIDENTIAL UNITS.

THE MATRIX CONSOLIDATED
THE FOLLOWING SLIDE COMBINES THE NARROW, MEDIUM AND WIDE FRONTAGE OPTIONS
IDENTIFIED ABOVE INTO A SINGLE, CONSOLIDATED MATRIX.
TO ASSIST IN SELECTING AN APPROPRIATE TYPOLOGY WHEN UNDERTAKING A SPECIFIC PROJECT

AN ANALYSIS OF EACH TYPOLOGY IS PROVIDED TO INDICATE:
THE MOST APPROPRIATE SLOPE ON WHICH THE UNIT COULD BE DEVELOPED (FLAT, GENTLE,
MODERATE, STEEP OR VERY STEEP),
THE MOST SUITABLE URBAN LAYOUT FOR THE UNIT (WHETHER IT CAN BE USED IN STREET,
CLUSTER OR COURTYARD APPLICATIONS),
ITS BUILDABILITY (WHETHER IT CAN BE SELF BUILT OR REQUIRES SPECIALISED PROFESSIONAL
INPUTS FROM ENGINEERS OR ARCHITECTS),
ITS EXPANDABILITY (HOW SUITABLE IT IS FOR FUTURE ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS BY
OWNERS),
ITS SUSTAINABILITY (WHAT ECO- FRIENDLY APPLICATIONS COULD BE ADDED TO THE UNIT
(SOLAR PANELS, RAIN WATER TANKS, SEPTIC TANKS ETC),
WHETHER OR NOT THE UNIT QUALIFIES FOR A HOUSING SUBSIDY OR NOT INDICATED AS
FOLLOWS:
Yes
No
THE LIKELY DENSITIES TO BE ACHIEVED ON THE VARIOUS SLOPES INDICATED AS FOLLOWS:
High (> 60 units / ha)
Medium (30 -60 unit / ha)
Low (<30 units / ha)
THE COST OF CONSTRUCTION PER APPORTIONED UNIT INDICATED AS FOLLOWS:
High (> R110 000)
Medium (R90-110 000)
Low (< R90 000)
NOTE: STATED DENSITIES ARE INDICATIVE AND FOR COMPARATIVE PURPOSES AS THEY DO NOT
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT CHANGING TERRAIN, AND THE NEED FOR NON-RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES.
LAYOUTS ARE ALL BASED ON MINIMAL ROAD PROVISION BY USING PANHANDLE LAYOUTS

SELECTION CRITERIA
THIS SECTION APPLIES A SET OF CRITERIA TO THE FULL SUITE OF TYPOLOGIES IDENTIFIED IN
THE COMPREHENSIVE MATRIX TO SELECT A LIMITED NUMBER OF TYPOLOGIES THAT WOULD
BE MOST APPLICABLE FOR DETAILED DEVELOPMENT.
A THREE STEP PROCESS IS FOLLOWED IN THIS SECTION:
APPROPRIATE CRITERIA ARE IDENTIFIED;

THE CRITERIA ARE APPLIED TO EACH TYPOLOGY IN A SYSTEMATIC WAY TO IDENTIFY THE
TYPOLOGIES THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR HOUSING SUBSIDIES
IN THIS WAY THE 44 TYPOLOGIES OF THE COMPREHENSIVE MATRIX ARE REDUCED TO 24
POSSIBLE TYPES
THESE 24 TYPES ARE THEN SUBJECTED TO A FURTHER SELECTION PROCESS TO IDENTIFY
6 TYPES THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR DEVELOPMENT IN THE ETHEKWINI CONTEXT.

TYPOLOGY SELECTION
THIS SECTION ILLUSTRATES ONE POSSIBLE ARCHITECTURAL RESPONSE TO THE 6 SELECTED

TYPOLOGIES.
THE TYPOLOGIES ARE INTENDED TO BE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO ACCOMMODATE A RANGE OF

ARCHITECTURAL RESPONSES, YET ROBUST ENOUGH TO LIMIT THE NEED FOR EXTENSIVE
REDESIGN AND COSTING EVERY TIME A NEW SITE IS DEVELOPED.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE SAME DESIGN IS NOT APPLIED TO MASSIVE ARES WHICH WOULD
ONCE AGAIN CREATE THE BLAND LIVING ENVIRONMENTS AND SAMENESS TYPICALLY
ASSOCIATED WITH LOW-INCOME HOUSING PROJECTS.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT IN ADDITION TO THE HOUSE ITSELF, DESIGN ATTENTION MUST BE PAID
TO THE URBAN LAYOUT, PUBLIC ENVIRONMENT, ROAD AND SERVICE INFRASTRUCTURE AND
SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC FACILITIES TO CREATE INTEGRATED HARMONIOUS LIVING
ENVIRONMENTS.

VARIATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

VARIATIONS AND APPLICATIONS
THIS SECTION LOOKS AT HOW THE BASIC TYPOLOGIES CAN BE ADAPTED, VARIED OR APPLIED IN
VARIOUS WAYS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF A RANGE OF PROJECT TYPES OR REQUIREMENTS.
THE INTENTION IS TO DEMONSTRATE BOTH THE INHERENT ROBUSTNESS AND FLEXIBILITY

EMBEDDED WITHIN THE BASIC TYPOLOGIES IN THAT THEY CAN BE APPLIED IN WAYS THAT
GENERATE COMPLETELY NEW HOUSE TYPES WITHOUT THE NEED FOR EXTENSIVE REDESIGN ON A
PROJECT-BY-PROJECT BASIS.
VARIATIONS AND APPLICATIONS INCLUDE:
COMBINING THE TYPOLOGIES
MINIMISING THE UNIT DELIVERABLE
INVESTIGATING SINGLE QUARTERS
ADAPTING THE UNIT TO SUIT VARYING SLOPES
ALTHOUGH BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS PROJECT BECAUSE THEY DO NOT QUALIFY FOR HOUSING
SUBSIDIES ARE MULTI-STOREY (3 OR MORE) WALK-UPS AS WELL AS UNITS WITH NON-RESIDENTIAL
GROUND FLOOR FUNCTIONS.

INVESTIGATING SINGLE QUARTERS
THERE APPEARS TO BE AN
ASSUMPTION THAT THE
GREATEST NEED FOR
HOUSING IS FOR FAMILY
HOUSES. HOWEVER IT
BECAME APPARENT DURING
THIS PROJECT THAT THERE IS
A HUGE DEMAND FOR SINGLE
PERSON HOUSING, PRIMARILY
FOR WORKERS IN THE CITIES
WHOSE FAMILIES LIVE
ELSEWHERE.
SINGLE QUARTER
ACCOMMODATION IS USUALLY
ASSOCIATED WITH HOSTEL
ACCOMMODATION WHICH IS
GENERALLY REGARDED AS
UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE OF
THE DEGRADING CONDITIONS
UNDER WHICH PEOPLE ARE
FORCED TO LIVE.
FAMILY HOUSING IS HOWEVER

ALSO UNSUITED FOR SINGLES
LIVING WHERE STRANGERS
END UP SHARING A HOUSE
WITH SHARED BATHROOMS,
NARROW FRONTAGE MEDIUM FRONTAGE WIDE FRONTAGE KITCHENS ETC.
THIS SLIDE PROPOSES AN

BUILT AREA = 21m²/unit BUILT AREA = 21m²/unit BUILT AREA = 21m²/unit ALTERNATIVE WHERE THE
BASIC HOUSE TYPOLOGIES
