Thinking about an annexe?
Are you seeking additional living space to accommodate a loved one while maintaining their independence? Look no further, an iHus annexe could be the perfect solution for you.
A granny annexe is a practical and thoughtful solution for families looking to provide their elderly relatives with a comfortable and independent living space while keeping them close. This separate living area offers privacy and autonomy, helping to maintain dignity and independence for older family members, while also ensuring they have the support and companionship of family nearby.
Why an annexe?
Multi-generational Living
This way of living is becoming more popular and offers many benefits. Studies indicate that residing close to relatives can alleviate financial issues and significantly enhance emotional well-being and overall life quality.
Blending Practicality with Comfort
In terms of design, a Granny Annexe usually includes its own kitchen, bathroom, living area, and sleeping space, offering a level of privacy and autonomy for the occupant while still being close enough to the main household for support.
