For generations, the Kiwi dream has been built around a familiar picture: a standalone home and plenty of room to grow. But as lifestyles shift, so too is the way New Zealanders are thinking about the way they live and making the most of the space they already have.
Certainly, the dream is not disappearing but evolving. Across the nation, Kiwis are finding clever ways to live and create opportunities for themselves and their families. As such, outdoor spaces are increasingly becoming an extension of the home and offering new possibilities for living, working and supporting family. These changes reflect a broader shift to making properties work harder by creating more spaces to live and therefore adding value to a home that evolves with you.
Get clever in your backyard
Supporting this evolution of living is Clever Living Co. – designed around modern lifestyles, its granny flat range provides homes that support changing needs through every stage of life. For families, it’s an opportunity for connection while maintaining personal independence. For homeowners, they can transform underused land into something meaningful with a focus on the future.
At the centre of every Clever Living Co. home is Pryda’s award-winning Truss House™ technology.
The prefabricated structural system is developed to simplify the building process and maintain quality, durability, design flexibility and enhanced thermal performance. By manufacturing each build’s key components off-site before assembly, the system helps reduce challenges, improves efficiency and streamlines delivery time compared to traditional building methods. Homeowners will be heartened to know their ideas can turn into reality sooner rather than later.
Think small, dream big
Five cleverly created floor plans – 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70sqm – are offered and can be adapted for every lifestyle. With materials supplied by Bunnings Trade, Clever Living Co. defies the traditional notion of what a granny flat is by including a lot of contemporary features you want in a modern home, including smart storage solutions, healthier living innovations such as passive ventilation systems and customisable cladding options that allow homeowners to personalise their space and truly make it their own.
More broadly, the Kiwi dream hasn’t disappeared. It’s simply evolved into something smarter. As homeowners look for better options to suit the way they live today, granny flats are proving that sometimes the best ideas can come from right outside your back door.
