In total, the Granny Pad offers 53 square meters (571 square feet) of living space organized into two sections. There’s the original garage at the front which contains the entrance, the kitchenette and the sitting room and the new addition at the back which houses the sleeping area, bathroom and dressing room. The bathroom is the only enclosed space and everything else forms a large open floor plan with easy access and seamless transitions. On the outside, the Granny Pad is clad in black vertical boards with matching shingles on the roof and a bright pink front door which cheers up the entire design.
