Vivo - Custom Granny Flat Builders

Don’t Build a Generic Flat! Start Designing Your Custom Layout Today! 

In Sydney, not every block is flat, and not every family fits a traditional format … and therefore, not every prospective Granny Flat suits a standard design plan.

Many homeowners rapidly find that off-the-shelf Granny Flat plans don’t cater for specific site or family needs. Sure, they technically work as residences, but they often feel lacking, forcing your life and your construction to fit within someone else’s vision.

That’s why you need Vivo Granny Flats.

We understand that your requirements are unique and your land demands are complex. So, we design and build with targeted focus, creating beautiful, custom Granny Flats that genuinely support the person who will live there … whether ageing parents, young adults, downsizers, extended family members, or a long-term tenant.

Designed for Real Life, Real People, and Real Blocks

Every custom Granny Flat from Vivo starts in the same place … your story. How you live, who the home is for, and what you need from your home. In short, your lifestyle becomes our blueprint for your new property … guiding every decision before we begin to address the specific opportunities and challenges of your site.

Designed Around the People Who Will Live There

Vivo’s custom-built Granny Flats are thoughtfully and carefully designed to support the preferences and needs of the person who will live there. That might mean making a comfortable, easy-to-navigate home for ageing parents, an independent space for adult children, or comfy accommodation for extended family or guests.

Designed To Work With Your Block

Our bespoke Granny Flats designs allow us to find your site's hurdles and potential … crucial factors overlooked by off-the-shelf plans. From sloping sites to narrow lots, and limited access to unconventional layouts … we can transform these features into amazing design opportunities that work seamlessly with the surroundings.

The result is a home that’s utterly perfect, both in form and function … that means a home shaped by real intention, not reluctant compromise.

Who Are Custom Design Granny Flats For?

Our personalised Granny Flat designs aren’t just some minor upgrades or small cosmetic tweaks. Instead, they’re tailored solutions that address your specific requirements … usually when a standard plan doesn’t address your unique family, investment, or site needs.

Our Custom Granny Flats Are Suitable For:

  • Families needing functional support – for ageing parents, loved ones requiring care, or family members who require layouts made for accessibility, mobility considerations, and dignity.
  • Adult children wanting independence – needing their own space but staying close to family.
  • Owners of challenging sites – for sloping, narrow, or unconventional blocks who need expert design to turn constraints into architectural opportunities.
  • Strategic planners – flexible homes that can easily adapt. For example, changing from an aged residence, to a family home, to a future workspace.
  • Savvy investors – looking for a rent-optimised dwelling that will enable high occupancy rates and premium income.
  • Proud homeowners – anyone who just wants their Granny Flat to feel personal and comfortable.

Don’t Accept Compromise

Function Focused – Our Purpose-Built Granny Flats

Although our Luxury builds target high-end inclusions … also included in bespoke dwellings if required … our custom Granny Flats in Sydney focus more specifically on personalisation … layouts which directly improve comfort, usability and enjoyment for the people living there.

Depending on the needs of the future resident, tenant, or guest … our designs may include.
