English term or phrase: granny flat
Bonjour

dans un prospectus publicitaire vantant les mérites de maisons préfabriquées:

The unit is the practical, single room self-catering unit, ideal for a granny flat or resort...

Le terme de studio indépendant convient-il?


Merci

logement autonome


Explanation:
Suggestion. La façon d'appeler ces unités séparées à l'intérieur d'une maison intergénérationnelle peut varier selon les pays et aussi selon l'architecture. On voit même "pavillon-jardin" s'il s'agit d'une petite unité de logement située complètement à l'extérieur de la maison, dans le jardin ou dans la cour. Je dirais que studio n'est pas mal non plus.

suite autonome dans ou en annexe à une maison


Explanation:
http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/granny-f...
"self-contained accommodation within or built onto a house, suitable for an elderly parent Also called: granny annexe"

However, they are no longer mainly used to house elderly relatives, any more than a "chambre de bonne" is mainly used to house a female houseservant.

Under English law, there is a reduced rate of tax if the granny flat/annexe is really used to house elderly relatives, but part of the definition is that such a granny flat must form part of the main house. It cannot be a "pavillon jardin".
