Architecturally designed backyard homes, crafted for comfort, elegance and liveability.
At Pleysier Perkins Mini Homes, we design and build luxury granny flats that go well beyond the basics. Servicing across Sydney, Melbourne, and beyond, our curated selection of architect-designed granny flats deliver exceptional quality, spacious living, and timeless style.
From minimalist studios to spacious 2-bedroom dwellings, our granny flats are crafted to feel like a true home — not an add-on. With each design, we maximise natural light, storage, and flow to create a space that’s as refined as it is functional.
Choose from our pre-designed Models or work with us on a full Custom Design build to suit your site, budget, and design preferences. Whether you’re creating a retreat for extended family, a flexible guest space, or a future rental opportunity, we’ll make it happen for you.
Each luxury granny flat is tailored to enhance both form and function - with premium finishes, thoughtful layouts, and an architectural integrity that will integrate beautifully with your primary residence.

Our flats are designed by architects, not mass manufacturers. Expect high ceilings, bespoke joinery, premium materials, and layouts that feel generous - not compressed.
Absolutely. All our designs can be tailored, or we can create something entirely unique to suit your site, aesthetic and lifestyle needs.
We offer a range of 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom luxury granny flats, with both standard models and fully customised options.
Yes. Many of our clients use their granny flats as guest stays, rental properties, or secondary dwellings for family. We can help ensure your design meets relevant planning requirements.
At PP Mini Homes, we don’t push one system over another - we tailor the solution to your property, budget, and lifestyle. So, it could be a modular granny flat for fast suburban installation, a kit build for urban infill or difficult to access locations, or a bespoke onsite granny flat.
Not with us. Our modular designs are architect-led, featuring high-end materials, thoughtful layouts, and natural light - just like our traditional builds.
Not always. Kit systems save on transport and crane hire, but costs depend on site complexity, finishes, and local labour availability.
All methods follow the same council planning process. However, modular and kit builds can often be installed quicker once approvals are in place.
Yes – we provide a start-to-finish service including site assessment, planning, approvals, and construction.
Although planning permits are no longer required for most small second homes as of December 2023, you will still need a building permit to ensure compliance with safety and building standards.
A council or accredited certifier can certify granny flats as complying development without the need for a development application (DA).
Custom designed and built to Passive House Standards, featuring a distinctive form and playful materiality. The rooftop garden assists with cooling during summer, while concrete floors and large windows contribute to passive heating in the cooler months. The home offers expansive views towards the Puffing Billy Trail and the surrounding landscape.
This Custom Design provides a flexible studio/sleepout with ensuite and an adjacent terrace for parking and outdoor entertaining. Raw, robust materials including recycled bricks and concrete reflect the laneway vernacular, while the green roof adds a lush view from the main house.
Please send your questionnaire (via ‘Discuss your project with us’) and we’ll review your property information and conduct a desktop feasibility study, based on the information provided.
You will then receive an email explaining our advice with the opportunity for an online meeting to further discuss the design/s and cost estimate/s.
We’ll also advise on our proposed building methodology and appropriate contractor for your project.
Finally, if you’d like to proceed we’ll provide a Fee Agreement to complete your Mini Home design & documentation (refer Stages 2 & 3).
Upon procurement of a land survey, we’ll confirm siting and present your Mini Home design and building quote for your approval.
Design documentation includes plans, a 3D model, and selections schedules outlining all materials, windows, interior finishes, fixtures, fittings and equipment.
With your approval we’ll proceed to Stage 3.
Our team will complete the building documentation and coordinate the inclusion of all consultants' documentation (including engineering and arborists report if required) for procurement of the Building Permit (from our licensed Building Surveyor) and Building Contract.
Our builder partner will then provide you with the Building Contract for approval, so they can start on site!
Our builder will prepare your site and services for the installation or on-site construction of your Mini Home.
Once complete, we’ll arrange certification and hand over the keys!
Please advise if you would like to discuss landscaping works with Pleysier Perkins to ensure a seamless integration with your garden!
