The humble granny-flat has seen a huge revival in the past decade and is becoming a popular and ever common asset to backyards Australia wide. With ever increasing pressures on housing affordability, the NSW Government has produced planning guidelines to make it easier to build these wonderful housing opportunities.

Unlocking the value of your backyard is easy by developing a second dwelling upon your property. Perfect for older parents looking to stay close and safe to family, younger children looking to get a step on the property ladder and investors looking to maximise return on investments in residential housing, these Granny-flats are targeted to those not looking for a simple cookie-cutter type design. We pride ourselves on producing individual and premium finished models that suit your existing home, the local area and character and be a welcome and attractive, quality built home for you, your family or a tenant.

We strive for contemporary styling, fitting of our beach side location and in keeping with Australia open, breezed and outdoor orientated lifestyles. These granny-flats need to look great, function well and be appointed with quality finishes to suit their seaside locations. We try to stay close to timber and weatherboards, corrugated iron and low pitched gable end roofs that produce an attractive hero statement in your backyard.

We have a large portfolio of completed models that have been custom designed to suit individual property aspect and unique site conditions, to maximise the amenity and function of the space within and make it something you want to come home to, not something that seems to have been dropped from the heavens into your yard.
