Contemporary living spaces

A Space That Works for You

Whether you’re giving older kids space to grow, supporting extended family, or building a backyard studio or rental, these fully detached living spaces offer long-term value and everyday comfort.

  • Self-contained living for extended family Create a private, fully self-contained dwelling for extended family or young adults, offering supported independence and peace of mind, just steps from home.
  • Teenage retreats & extra space Give older kids their own space now, and a springboard into future independence. It’s an investment in their growth and your long-term lifestyle.
  • Work-from-home studios Design a quiet, purpose-built studio or home office that separates work life from family life, designed for focus, comfort and a balanced lifestyle.
  • Rental potential & investment value Maximise your block’s value by turning underutilised space into a smart, stylish rental. Enjoy steady income while increasing your property’s long-term worth.
  • Every Atlas Living granny flat is energy-efficient, architecturally designed, and our layouts are fully customisable so it works for your block, your lifestyle, and your future.

Built smarter, with less disruption

Unlike traditional renovations, granny flats are standalone constructions so your daily life carries on as usual. There’s no need to move out during the build, and our streamlined process ensures transparency from consultation to handover.

Loving my new little house aka Atlas granny flat – The build was straightforward and well managed from start to finish; I am very happy with the workmanship and build quality, and any issues identified during the process were handled quickly, professionally and to my satisfaction.

Have Questions?

Explore our FAQs to discover more about our designs, process and how we can help bring your project to life.

Can I customise the design?

Yes, all our designs are flexible and can be tailored to your site, style preferences, and lifestyle needs. Whether you want to adjust the layout, cladding, roofline or add extra features, we’ll work with you to create a space that feels just right.

Do you build on my property?

Yes – our projects are built on site at your existing property, whether it’s a standalone granny flat or an extension that links to your home. Please note that we’ll need safe and practical access to your yard during construction to complete the build.

How do I know what I can build on my property?

Our sales consultants are experienced in understanding local council regulations. Combined with a site visit to assess your property, they can guide you through what is possible for your site and help you explore the best options.

What areas do you build in?

We build across metropolitan Adelaide and surrounding areas. If you’re unsure whether your location is covered, please get in touch and we’ll confirm.

What is included in the build?

Every Atlas Living project comes with a full standard specification, including engineered and certified footings, insulated timber framing, external cladding and roofing, quality internal finishes, kitchen and bathroom fittings, windows and doors with locks and screens, tiling to wet areas, and electrical and plumbing provisions. We also include council applications, insurance during construction and a 25-year structural warranty for peace of mind. Optional extras are available to personalise your design.

Do your designs meet current building regulations?

Yes, all Atlas Living designs are compliant with the latest National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant South Australian building regulations, including recent updates introduced in October 2024.
