Getting floor plans made is a vital element of establishing a granny flat. So, what can you learn from granny flat floor plans? A floor plan is a scaled two-dimensional drawing of the granny flat from above, illustrating the arrangement from roughly a meter above ground level. The layout depicts the entire house, including measurements, every room, and its utilities. I’ll talk about the purpose of floor plans today. I’ll discuss studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom granny flat floor layouts available at Granny Flat Solutions.
What is a Floor Plan’s Purpose?
When it comes to creating your granny flat, you’ll need a floor plan. It has the ability to generate a flow between the sections, giving it a pleasant feel. Floorplans are also used to assist in the planning of wiring systems, the installation of plumbing, and other tasks. You can engage a designer to draw your floor plans, such as an architect or drafter.
After inspecting your property and receiving reports from your inspector and architect, they can begin creating floor plans that incorporate features such as:
● Your maximum floor space:- The plan must make the greatest use of your site, taking into account Council laws for maximum floor area and your land size needs, which include landscaping and setbacks.
● Energy efficiency:- Allowing natural light in and using passive solar heating
It’s critical to discuss the floor plans with your designer, describing exactly what you want – this will confirm you obtain your dream granny apartment.
Studio Granny Flat Floor Plans
A nice studio granny flat floor plan will include:
● A Multi-Use Room can include a home office, for example.
● A Deck (if you have the space).
● There’s a bathroom.
● The kitchen/kitchenette, living room, and dining room are all open to one another.
Please read more about Studio Granny Flats for other possibilities, such as whether you can eliminate rooms and share them in the main house.
1 Bedroom Granny Flat Floor Plans
A suitable floor design for a one-bedroom granny flat will have the following features:
● A room with an en-suite bathroom.
● The kitchen, living room, and dining room are all open to one another.

2 Bedroom Granny Flat Floor Plans
Other factors to consider in a 2-Bedroom granny flat include:
● Layout:- Consider the confidentiality of the tenants, for example.
● Bathroom:- Ascertain that the bathrooms are compatible with the granny flat’s “mains” water supply.
It’s also critical to maintaining your design adaptability. Consider not only who your tenants are today, but also who they might be in the future, and what the rooms will be used for.
Conclusion:- When it comes to planning your granny flat, you’ll have to make a lot of decisions, one of which is the floor layout. A render, in my opinion, puts everything into perspective. It also gives you a good idea of how the furniture will fit in.
