A Thoughtful Addition: A Custom Wollongong Granny Flat in Exeter

In the picturesque town of Exeter, nestled within the Southern Highlands, a family sought to create a dedicated space for a loved one. The result is a locally custom-designed Wollongong Granny Flat that harmoniously blends independence with proximity—offering a comfortable, functional living area tailored to its occupants' needs.

Design Intentions and Planning

The family's vision centred on providing a self-contained dwelling that ensured privacy while maintaining close familial ties. Collaborating closely with the design team, they outlined key requirements:

• A spacious bedroom to accommodate rest and personal belongings

• An open-plan living area to foster a sense of openness and facilitate daily activities

• A fully equipped kitchen and a modern bathroom ensure self-sufficiency

  
  

This collaborative planning phase was crucial in translating the family's needs into a tangible design that respected the resident's autonomy and the property's aesthetic.

Architectural Features and Material Choices

The Wollongong Granny Flat’s exterior presents a sleek charcoal finish with timber accents, creating a modern yet timeless façade. Large, strategically placed windows invite natural light and offer views of the surrounding rural landscape, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
