Granny flat design packages

Driven by curiosity and built on purpose, this is where bold thinking meets thoughtful execution. Let’s create something meaningful together.

Granny flat design packages for Auckland homeowners.

Whether you’re adding a rental unit, creating space for family or planning ahead for the future, our design packages give your project a clear and compliant path forward.

Our packages are designed around how Auckland granny flats actually get built, not just drawn. Through working with homeowners and builders across Auckland, we've learned what's needed to get a minor dwelling from idea to PIM-ready documentation without delays, redesigns, or costly surprises.

Stratum Architecture has three fixed scope packages to suit different project types and levels of service. From our Essential package for a straightforward 1-bed design, through to our Premium 2-bed set, and our fully custom Ultra package. There's a clear fit for every project.

Every package includes LBP Design signed Memorandum, detailed working drawings drawings prepared by a Licensed Building Practitioner with hands-on residential construction experience. We know what Auckland Council needs to see, and we know what your builder needs to start.
