The Walpole Granny Flat in Kew, Melbourne showcases the potential of innovative, compact living within a streamlined 60m² footprint. Designed as a secondary dwelling and exempt from a planning permit in Victoria, this double-storey residence provides a sustainable and cost-efficient housing solution for urban families.

The architectural design optimises both functionality and natural light, featuring two comfortable bedrooms and a shared bathroom on the upper level, with an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area below. The bold corrugated metal façade not only adds a modern aesthetic but also ensures durability and low maintenance, making it ideal for homeowner builds.

This project highlights the versatility and value of small-scale architecture while maintaining a strong focus on energy efficiency, livability, and contemporary design. The layout offers flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or use as a self-contained studio.
