A granny flat is one of the smartest additions you can make to a property — a self-contained space for family, guests, a home office or rental income, all without moving house.

Haven Solutions designs and builds premium granny flats and backyard studios that feel like a proper home, not an afterthought: well-proportioned, light-filled and beautifully finished, with the same craftsmanship as the main house.

We handle the design, engineering, approvals and build, and make sure the new dwelling sits comfortably in your garden and complements your home.
