Add a stylish and functional granny flat to your property, perfectly tailored for the New Zealand market. With the growing demand for granny flats, now is the ideal time to take advantage of this cost-effective alternative. Our expertly designed plans are highly adaptable and boast a contemporary style, seamlessly enhancing your property’s look and feel. Featuring intelligent layouts and stylish finishes, our granny flats provide modern living solutions that will add significant value and appeal.

Decide whether you would like your granny flat to blend in with your current house’s look or opt for a more modern style. While highlighting the potential uses of such an additional space on your property, we would also like to emphasise that there is no limit to creatively making this area work for your needs and within the available space. Even better, if your current need changes, the space can be converted to serve another purpose. The possibilities are endless! Even with limited space, adding a second level to an existing garage is an option. A granny flat could also be attached to your home, serving as an addition to your existing property and keeping those close to you nearby. It could even involve converting a garage or simply upgrading or renovating an existing area with minor changes to create the separate space you require.

One feature we always focus on, especially if the area will be occupied full-time, is space-saving ideas and hacks — there are so many to choose from! One of our favourites is the open sliding kitchen window that connects the kitchen to the outer deck area, allowing for a bar serving counter on the outside of the window with some bar stools facing into the kitchen. A deck is a must where possible to extend your living space. A small garden shed or an outdoor cupboard on a covered deck is also handy for storing outdoor items, toys, or cutlery used on the deck. Who says a granny flat doesn’t need a little laptop table and chair under athe  staircase leading up to your mezzanine level bed? This can create the extra floor space you may be in dire need of!

While designs must comply with Council Regulations, the good news is that changes in legislation are expected from mid to late 2025, which will mean that granny flats of 60m² or under will no longer require Council Consent. This is excellent news for New Zealand’s already pressured housing market. So, if you want to add value to your property with a build that will be recognised by buyers and financially supported by your bank — unlike other small builds or movable homes — please give us a call!
