Garages & Granny Flats

A second dwelling or a smarter garage — granny flats, garage conversions, secondary studios.

A second home in the backyard

Whether it’s a place for aging parents, a teenage retreat, an income-producing rental or a home office that’s actually quiet — a granny flat is the most cost-effective second dwelling you can put on a residential block. Built right, it lives like a small house, not a garden shed.

Granny flat interior with kitchenette

Designed to feel like a home

Full-height ceilings where the block allows. Real kitchens, not kitchenettes. Properly insulated walls and ceilings. The difference between a granny flat that gets used every day and one that becomes a storage room.

Garage conversion with new entry

Garage conversions, done compliantly

Converting an existing garage is often the fastest path to extra space — but it’s also where DIY conversions go wrong. We handle the insulation, ventilation, slab moisture treatment and council compliance so it’s a legal liveable space, not a glorified shed.
