Backyard Living Solutions
The garden studio solves space problems without moving house. Adult children return home, parents need accommodation, remote work demands a proper office, or you simply need more room. This design adds habitable space to your property within existing suburban lots.
Not a Shed, a Dwelling
Class 1a compliance means this is a proper habitable building with insulation, ventilation, waterproofing, and all NCC requirements. Your council approves it as a dwelling. It meets the standards for permanent occupation, not just occasional use.

Fully engineered to Australian standards with BAL bushfire ratings from BAL-LOW to BAL-FZ and wind ratings from N1 to C3. We prepare all council drawings and assist with planning and building permit applications.
