Granny flats in Australia have become a kind of symbol of a modern approach to housing, as they combine rationality, care for the family and aesthetics. Such houses have long ceased to be simple “buildings in the yard” – they are designed as real small residences that harmoniously fit into the overall appearance of the site. Architects think through every detail: from the facade, which matches the main house, to the ergonomic layout, where even a small space is used as efficiently as possible.

Their popularity is also growing due to changes in the lifestyle of Australians. Young people often stay with their parents longer, because housing prices are high, and rents are rising. Granny flats make it possible to have a separate home without leaving their native site. For older people, this is also a huge advantage: they can be close to loved ones, but at the same time feel like the owners of their own home.
