Granny Home – Affordable Modular Accommodation in Australia
Maybe you have a relative with whom you wish to share your house and want to offer them the privacy of a self contained granny flat? Annexes and granny flats can afford more independence for relatives than living in the principle dwelling.
The humble granny home, actually, is part of a tradition that stretches back more than a hundred years, to a time when widows used carriage houses to supplement their income, couples passed the summer in them and let out the main house to tourists, and bachelors, young couples and workers regarded them as cost-effective places to live within easy walking distance of work.
While the trend is to move away from more traditional brick and tile home building, designers in Australia are exploring new construction methods that will take full advantage of innovative, new materials which are being introduced into the manufactured housing market.
Actually, if you think about it, the building methods developed for kit homes make increasing sense, when you consider the soaring costs of onsite building, the extra expense of complying with occupational health and safety regulations, and the demands of making sure new building work is sustainable and environementally friendly.
There are many Australian companies who offer a choice of manufactured homes to appeal to every taste and budget. They offer a choice of floor-plans so you are certain to find one that’s just perfect for your requirements. They are also able to customise a floor-plan to conform with any special needs. You also have a choice of exterior looks to select from.
So, whether you need a granny flat to be added to an existing house plot, or a sea-side home, or a lakeside cabin, it’s good to know there are cost-effective solutions to be found.
Kit homes have many applications – they are perfect for granny flats, military accommodation, miners’ accommodation, teenagers’ retreats, lakeside cabins – anywhere where a piece of suitable land is available.
