Granny flats & secondary dwellings
A second dwelling shouldn’t look like a shed.
Whether it’s for parents, adult children, guests or rental income, a Storybook secondary dwelling is composed with the same principles as the main home - connection to garden, light and charm included.
Big design, small scale
Cathedral volume makes a small plan feel generous. A veranda gives it a welcome. Careful siting keeps privacy for both households - and keeps the garden whole.
