PUTTING grandma six feet under could be the answer to Sydney's housing shortage.
An architectural firm believes backyard swimming pools should be emptied and transformed into subterranean granny flats, complete with a small bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, garden alcove and rooftop windows.
The concept, which came second in the Architecture Australia Prize for Unbuilt Work, would allow urban consolidation to take place without compromising some of the benefits of suburbia, such as spacious gardens and unimpeded views.
The idea, by Nobbs Radford Architects, was created in response to former premier Morris Iemma's announcement in July that the Government would modify housing codes to make it easier for homeowners to build "secondary dwellings" in backyards.
By 2036 more than 630,000 new homes will be needed to accommodate Sydney's population, which is expected to grow to 6 million. But instead of turning traditionally low-rise suburbs into vast stretches of apartment blocks, part of the growth could be housed within some of NSW's 360,000 swimming pools, Alison Nobbs said.
"It's just making a suburban experience more accessible," she said.
"It's a small, one-bedroom apartment. Rather than being stuck in an apartment building, I guess it allows people access to a suburban experience as well, with a garden and separate dwelling experience."
Ms Nobbs said redeveloped pools could be adapted for all demographics. "This type of housing is applicable to a far greater demographic than grannies.
"[In relation to the] trend for teenagers and adults to stay at home longer, you are still within the family confines but you have your own autonomy."
Swimming Pool and Spa Association of NSW president Manfred Wiesemes, who has been building pools for 42 years, was pessimistic about the idea.
"Impossible, in one word," he said.
He said empty pools could "float" when rain saturated the soil, putting upward pressure on the floor of the pool and lifting it out of the ground. And the slopes of pool floors would be difficult to live with.
"I would imagine it would be much cheaper to put a granny flat on the back of a house than in a swimming pool."
