FAQs About Granny Flat Types
Yes, but it depends on your local council regulations. In many areas, the maximum floor area is 60m², so 3 bedrooms can be tight but possible with smart design. Some councils allow larger secondary dwellings.
Studios can be very compact. We have designed functional studios as small as 25-30m² that include a kitchenette and bathroom, perfect for tight blocks.
Yes, 2-bedroom layouts are generally the highest yielding investment as they appeal to small families, couples, and roommates, offering a higher rental return than studios.
Absolutely. All our types (Studio, 1 Bed, 2 Bed, etc.) are starting points. We customize every plan to suit your land shape, solar orientation, and specific requirements.
