When a Floreat couple set out to build a granny flat on their spacious block they had owned for years, their goal was clear — create a comfortable, independent home for their daughter and grandson while ensuring the new addition felt like a natural fit alongside their existing residence.

The Vision: A Home That Feels Like It’s Always Been There

For the owners, this project was about family first. With their daughter needing a place to call home during a period of WA’s ongoing housing shortage, they wanted a solution that delivered comfort, privacy and long-term value.

“It’s been exactly what we wanted and has fitted in with the current home both aesthetically and from a functional relativity aspect. It doesn’t look out of place.”

The build prioritised seamless integration — creating a granny flat that not only complemented the existing character dwelling but enhanced the overall flow and usability of the property.

Designing for Comfort, Function and Future Flexibility

From the first design meeting, Summit Granny Flat’s team worked closely with the owners to shape a home that truly met their needs.

“Summit have been really responsive to our needs in terms of the design and the process.”

The final design includes modern, functional spaces ideal for daily living for both adults and children, with thoughtful inclusions that support independence while remaining just steps away from the main house.

A Build That Adds Value

Since completion, the granny flat has provided a comfortable, independent home for their daughter and grandson, while also demonstrating what’s possible on a well-utilised block. Friends and family are often surprised by the scale of the home, reinforcing the owners’ confidence in their decision to build a granny flat.

For the owners, working with Summit Granny Flats was a positive experience from the outset.

“We would easily recommend Summit to anyone considering getting a granny flat. The considerable range of options available and the way they listened to our needs was exceptional. It also adds value to our property.”

Beyond meeting their immediate needs, the project has added long-term flexibility to the property, providing a practical solution that can adapt as their family’s needs change.
