Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Contemporary Granny Flats
Granny Flats could be the next big trend in residential architecture. A Granny Flat, also called Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), is a secondary home that shares the same property as a primary residence. Think backyard cottage, guesthouse, or carriage house.
Many parts of the country are facing severe housing shortages, and Granny Flats are an excellent solution to that problem. In an effort to provide more housing, zoning restrictions of one house per lot have been lifted. Homeowners are now able to build a small home in their backyard.
These small homes can provide multigenerational housing, which is a fancy way of saying your parents (the Granny part) live in their own home in your backyard. Close enough to provide free babysitting, but not living with you.
Homeowners will often use their ADU to generate rental income, especially in high property value neighborhoods. Some homeowners even go so far as to move into the secondary house and rent the main house.
A Granny Flat falls somewhere between a tiny house (under 500 s.f.) and a small home (about 1,400 s.f.). Unlike tiny houses, everything is normal-sized; no miniature bathrooms or kitchens. They usually have one or two bedrooms and one bath. Granny Flats are also stationary; they are not designed to be movable like a tiny house.
These homes are not just for the elderly. They can be a great option for a young adult or couple, empty-nesters, or even someone that just doesn't want a lot of space or a big mortgage.
These small houses offer an opportunity for some really great designs. Rather than spending money on excess square footage, those dollars can be put towards upgraded materials and finishes.
