LOFT GARAGES/accessory buildingS

THE IMPORTANT THING TO UNDERSTAND IS, WHAT YOU CAN BUILD DEPENDS COMPLETELY ON YOUR PROPERTY’S ZONE, AND THAT EACH ZONE HAS IT’S OWN SET OF TOWN PLANNING REGULATIONS. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON THIS GO TO PRODUCTS OVERVIEW.

A Loft Garage or Accessory Building is a perfect way to create more Space for Life to cater for extended family living for teenagers, guest accommodation or for multi-generational living. Often our clients have existing carports that no longer serve their purpose due to the growing need for more space.

They can have more than 1 bedroom, even have 2 bathrooms, however they cannot have a kitchen or food prep area, which sets them apart from Minor Dwellings and Secondary Dwellings. In some situations, our clients create these Loft Garages and/or Accessory Buildings with the idea that they can add a kitchen at a later date with the correct consents.

If you are looking to provide for extended family living and recreation space for teenagers, guest accommodation or granny flat, a Loft Garage/Accessory Building could be the perfect solution. Building lofts are a wonderfully efficient use of existing space.

Other uses for Loft Garages or Accessory buildings are for man/she-sheds, work from home, home-gym, music studios etc. Our designs also make great, affordable, safe and secure starter holiday bach’s that can be delveloped overtime as budgets allow.
