The 48m2 ancillary dwelling in West Hobart is a fully functional and comfortable stand-alone home designed specifically for an elderly family member to stay close to their loved ones, whilst maintaining independence. It provides a secure and private living while still being a part of the family's daily activities and special moments.
Ancillary dwellings can contribute to a more sustainable approach to urban living. By building these smaller, more efficient homes on existing properties, we can reduce the environmental impact of new construction and make better use of available resources. It's a way to provide additional housing options without significantly impacting the surrounding area. Ancillary dwellings can provide support our elderly family members while providing them with a home of their own. It's a way to keep them close and provide them with a sense of security, while also contributing to a more sustainable approach to urban living.
