Home Additions and Annex Ideas

The pros and cons of building an annex, as opposed to a home addition

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.

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.
