Considered secondary dwellings, resolved in proportion and purpose.

Across the Northern Rivers, secondary dwellings — often referred to as granny flats — are increasingly shaping how families live. Whether accommodating extended family, creating independent space, or adding long-term flexibility to established homes, these additions require careful resolution.

At Amity Living, they are approached with the same spatial discipline applied to internal renovations and considered additions. Placement, circulation and privacy are resolved early, ensuring the new dwelling feels integrated rather than appended.

Integrated Additions

Secondary dwellings may take many forms — compact studios, independent living arrangements, or dual occupancy configurations — but the intent remains consistent.

The relationship to the existing home is carefully considered. Access, light and outlook are resolved
in context. Material direction is curated to ensure cohesion and longevity.

Design intent and build execution remain aligned through our integrated design + construction methodology.
