Home Additions and Annex Ideas

Home Annex Structures

Putting new space under the same roof as the rest of your house isn't always the best or the only option. Building an annex might be a simpler or more effective way to get the kind of flexibility you're after. Some annexes are freestanding; others are semidetached, linked to the house by a deck, terrace, bridge, or other covered passageway. Examples of structures that commonly function as annexes include garages, sheds, garden pavilions, and self-contained living quarters. An annex may occupy a portion of the structure, such as the attic space above a garage or the indoor half of a garden pavilion, or it may include the entire structure.
