Sustainable, smart, and beautifully designed – all in your own backyard
At Backyard Grannys, we believe you don’t need a large footprint to make a big impact. A custom-designed backyard eco home is a clever way to live more sustainably, reduce energy bills, and create a serene, functional space right outside your door.
Whether you're after a compact home for living, a peaceful weekend retreat, or a future-focused investment, we’ll work with you to bring it to life – with sustainability at the core.
Custom eco homes – designed for the way you live
Our in-house architect team will help you design a backyard dwelling that’s compact, efficient, and made to suit your lifestyle. From orientation and passive solar design to insulation, window placement and natural ventilation, every detail is carefully considered to reduce your environmental footprint without sacrificing comfort or style.
You can choose from eco-friendly building materials and energy-efficient fixtures – or let us guide you through what’s available and what will work best for your needs and budget.
Flexible for now and the future
While many of our eco homes are designed for permanent living or long stays, they’re also incredibly versatile. Use your eco build as a home office, creative retreat, guest accommodation or long-term rental. You can even use it as short-stay accommodation or housing for family members with a focus on ageing-in-place design.
Your space can evolve with your lifestyle – and grow in value over time.
Built to last, with the earth in mind
We build our granny flats with longevity in mind – and when you choose to include sustainable options, you’re adding long-term value to your home while reducing your environmental impact. You’ll also be supported by our strong relationships with trusted local suppliers and trades, many of whom share our commitment to quality and sustainability.
From approvals to construction, we manage the entire process – with a focus on making it easy for you.
