Gables, glazing, heritage colours, rooflines and custom orb roofing from the main house are used as inspiration for the garden house. Centre to the building is a glass roof with louvres allowing light and ventilation to filter through. Weather board is used to finish the exterior as a sympathetic characteristic to the purpose of the rooms within.

Garages and granny flats can be used to store large, infrequently used items, outdoor supplies, seasonal decor or items that simply don’t fit inside the house. They can also be used as recreational rooms or can be converted into granny flats or studios, with sufficient ventilation, light and insulation.

Use as a separate home office is on the rise, as is building self-contained granny flats which can be sub-let for passive income.
