Discussion…
Could granny flats, guest houses, and accessory dwelling units be one of the best ways to build tiny and small legally, given you have the option?
For now, I really do think so. How about you? What else could we do?

Maybe they have different ideas in Australia about what is aesthetically appealing or what can provide a home with the ability to lift your spirits so I’m not going to judge them if that’s what they prefer but speaking for myself, am I the only one that thinks there is a real lack of windows in this tiny home? Personally I would find the lack of being able to see outside or have natural light literally flood my home really depressing. Old people get depressed when they feel isolated and windows…and plenty of them…can help ease that feeling. The little abode is definitely small and efficient but what old person wouldn’t benefit from a little more fun and a little less efficiency? I’m approaching my 7th decade so I am speculating. Make housing for older people less bleak, please. That exterior looks very institutional by my standards, anyway.
You actually do not see the large windows by the terrasse – because the photographer is standing with the back to the windows to get a good picture of the livingroom and kitchen. That said, then I have been living in Australia for three years. And it is common to not have too big windows because it is often very hot in summer. It is to keep the heat out. That is also why they often have light floor tiles, so they do not suck up a lot of heat. Australians do not use a lot of time inside their houses. They spend a lot of their free time outside with friends and family. Often they have bigger shaded living areas outside than inside.
Sorry. I meant to say in my previous comment that I am NOT speculating.
