NOT JUST A GRANNY FLAT

A Genuine Second Home. There’s a big difference between adding a structure to your backyard and building somewhere you’d genuinely be happy to live.

At VIVE Homes, we approach granny flats in the same way we approach our custom homes, with thoughtful design, quality construction, attention to detail, and a finish that complements your existing property.

Our granny flats are constructed on site, rather than being delivered as a cheap portable or relocatable building.

That gives us the flexibility to consider your

  • Property
  • Backyard
  • Existing home
  • Orientation
  • Lifestyle
  • Design preferences
  • Access
  • Site conditions
  • Intended use

The result is a second dwelling designed to feel like part of your property not something that’s simply been placed in the backyard.

ONE BACKYARD. A LOT OF POSSIBILITIES.

A 2 bedroom second dwelling can serve your family in different ways today and into the future. 

For Parents 

Keep family close while giving everyone their own space. Create an independent home for parents or grandparents with their own bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, living area and entrance. Close enough when they need you. Independent when they don’t. 

For Adult Children 

Help them gain independence without leaving the family property. A second dwelling can provide adult children with a genuine home of their own while they work, study or save toward their future. Two homes. One property. 

For Rental Income 

Unlock the potential of your backyard. A compliant small second dwelling can potentially be rented to someone outside your family. For suitable homeowners, that can turn underused backyard space into an additional long term rental opportunity. 

For Your Future 

Build flexibility into your property. What starts as a home for children today might accommodate parents later or become a rental property in the future. A well designed 2 bedroom home gives you more options as your family’s needs change. 

WHY VIVE HOMES?

Because 60m² deserves the same attention as 300m². There are plenty of ways to put a small building in a backyard. We believe there’s a better way to build a second home.

Built On Site

Your granny flat is constructed on your property using traditional residential building methods. It is not simply a prefabricated box dropped into your backyard.

Custom, Not One Size Fits All

Your land isn’t identical to your neighbor’s. Neither are your needs. We can tailor the floorplan, facade, finishes, and orientation to make the most of your property.

Premium Quality

We build homes not cabins. Materials, finishes, fixtures and workmanship are selected with long term living in mind.

Designed To Complement Your Home

Your second dwelling shouldn’t look like an afterthought. We can consider the architecture, colours and materials of your existing home so the two dwellings sit comfortably together.

Experienced Custom Home Builder

VIVE Homes already designs and constructs custom homes, renovations, extensions, dual occupancies and developments across Melbourne. Your granny flat benefits from that same building knowledge and project-management experience.

One Team

From the first conversation through feasibility, design, documentation, construction and handover, we’ll guide you through the process.
