Studio Granny Flat Designs and Floor Plans

Studio granny flats provide a cost-effective, minimalistic option for homeowners looking for a bit of extra space. Their small size makes them cheaper and easier to build than regular granny flats. Choosing a studio granny flat gives you the opportunity to boost your property value, or gain additional income through renting. If this sounds like your style, Granny Flats WA offers premade or custom designs for studio granny flats to suit any lifestyle.

How much does it cost to build a studio granny flat?

Studio granny flats are the most cost-effective choice among granny flats. Costs are influenced by the size, design and materials used. Studio granny flats are self-contained units. They are uniquely designed to incorporate a bedroom, kitchen, and living space in one room, and a small bathroom in another. How big or small you choose to make this space will ultimately affect the price. Have a chat with our team for an obligation-free quote for how much it will cost to bring your dream to life.

Studio granny flat requirements

Studio granny flats are more suitable for smaller properties with less space for a granny flat. A granny flat’s allowable size used to be based on the size of your house’s lot size. However, the minimum lot size in WA will be removed in April 2024 due to recent amendments. Studio granny flats are well-suited to smaller lot sizes since they are more compact. Studio granny flats have similar requirements to other granny flat types when it comes to their primary requirements and building approvals.

When it comes to studio style granny flats, you’ll need to consider your design and space carefully. It’s all well and good to have everything in one room, but it needs to be comfortable if someone is going to live in it. Design features could include getting creative with storage or multi-purpose furniture. Fold-away tables and beds, or chairs and couches with hidden storage can make the studio more spacious, attractive to guests or tenants, and help you get the most out of your granny flat’s interior.

What are the benefits of a studio granny flat?

A studio granny flat is cheaper to build than a larger granny flat. If you’re living on a small property, a studio might be the solution to expand your space without taking a huge chunk out of your backyard. Studio spaces are perfectly habitable if you don’t mind compromising on space, which is why they’re such an attractive granny flat design. You can even rent it out long-term or as an Airbnb to generate an alternative stream of income. They’re especially suitable for people who aren’t home much, or prefer an easily managed, compact living arrangement. Another benefit is that studio granny flats have a flexible range of designs. From building materials, to layouts, to portable granny flats you get choices that don’t always accompany traditional homes, or even larger granny flats.

They appeal to renters looking to save money. While a studio granny flat is not being utilised as a residence, it can make a great office or hobby room.
