Compared to standard granny flats, they are less expensive and simpler to construct due to their smaller size. Selecting a studio granny flat allows you to increase the value of your house and generate extra revenue from rentals. Pillar Build Granny Flats provides readymade or custom designs for studio granny flats to fit any lifestyle if this is more your thing.
What is a Granny Flat?
Granny flats, often called secondary dwellings, are recognized and permitted by planning laws and, when constructed by specific guidelines, are acknowledged as completely independent living units separate from the primary property. These stand-alone secondary residences provide independent living quarters with all the amenities required for independent occupancy. Although their size is typically limited to 60 square meters in NSW and 90 square meters in ACT, there may be variations in some areas that permit larger configurations. An officially recognized secondary residence, such as a granny flat, can be rented and generate revenue.
STUDIO GRANNY FLAT REQUIREMENTS
Studio granny flats are better suited for smaller houses with little space for a granny flat. The size of your house’s lot is used to determine the maximum size for a granny flat. Studio granny flats are more compact and ideal for smaller lots. When it comes to their primary criteria and construction approvals, studio granny flats are identical to other types of granny flats. You’ll need to give your design and available space serious thought when it comes to studio-style granny flats. Everything in one space is fine, but if someone is going to live there, it needs to be comfortable. Using multipurpose furniture or becoming clever with storage are examples of design components. Maximize the inside space of your granny flat and make the studio appear more extensive and appealing to tenants or guests by adding fold-away tables, beds, chairs, and couches with concealed storage.
How do you differentiate between a Granny Flat or a Studio?
Essentially, the level of independence and intended purpose distinguish a Granny Flat from a studio. A Granny Flat, also known as a secondary residence, is an independent home that must include a separate kitchen to be deemed fit for year-round habitation.
On the other hand, a studio is attached to its parent home and is used for specialized hobbies such as making or painting. Although it may have specific living spaces, including a bathroom and even a sleeping area, it cannot be regarded as a distinct, long-term residence because it is not equipped with a kitchen or a laundry room. The National Construction Code likewise maintains this critical distinction.
STUDIO APARTMENT GRANNY FLAT FLOOR PLAN
STUDIO APARTMENT GRANNY FLAT FLOOR PLAN – 19.80M2
A standard option for those building granny flats is this 5500 x 3600 mm studio apartment. It has a layout with a balcony and two roof design options: gable and Skillion. A skillion roof, the first type option, has a single plane roof surface instead of a standard slope roof with two sloped sides meeting in the middle. Roofs in Skillion are not level. Instead, they are sloping, giving them a contemporary architectural appearance. Additionally, you have the choice of a verandah with this 19.80m2 studio. Depending on your area, a deck or patio can help a studio feel more like a home. It comes with a gabled roof and more room for outside seats.
At 6000 x 4500 mm, the Protea Headsitter studio offers a comfortable size. It has big doors, a skillion roof, and an interior with a creative design. The studio’s large living and kitchen space has a raked ceiling. Rather than having a flat ceiling, the ceiling design takes advantage of the building’s natural trusses and structure to create a more open and airy area. Tucked into the building’s support, the laundry and bathroom combine utility and privacy. Because so many windows let light in, this studio granny flat layout has little room for improvement.
