Granny flats and tiny homes can both create useful compact living space, but the right starting point depends on what you need the building to do and where it will sit.
Choose a granny flat when family living is the priority
A granny flat is a strong starting point when the goal is an independent home close to an existing household. Woodland Living offers five granny flat designs, from the 39 sqm one-bedroom Hahndorf and the 54.2 sqm two-bedroom Stanthorpe to the 80 sqm Apollo Bay and Soul. It suits multigenerational living, such as elderly parents or adult children living close to family.
Choose a tiny home when the compact-home format suits the project
Tiny homes can suit projects where a smaller footprint, a different layout or a more compact living concept is the priority. The best model still depends on intended use and site constraints. Our tiny home starts from $129,000 for clients in Melbourne and across Victoria.

Do not choose from the label alone
The useful decision is not simply "granny flat or tiny home". It is which design and project pathway best matches the people, site and long-term use.
