[BAYSWATER, 12/03/2018] -- Whether it is for leisure or work, even Classic Cabins knows backyard studios have a myriad of applications. They can be used as a poolside cabana, home office, music room or an extra room for guests. Australian building companies have now streamlined their construction process by providing premade panels or prefabricated backyard studios for faster installation on residential properties.

Building Regulations

A backyard studio is often installed next to a home garden. However, if it is positioned near a fence or boundary and if it is over a certain size, homeowners are required to apply for a building permit.

In New South Wales, most cases do not require a council approval; for example, backyard studios less than 20 sq m. There are, however, several additional requirements homeowners must consider. A backyard studio should be no less than 90 cm from any fence or boundary and remain under 3 m high.

Homeowners should also consider the exact location for their backyard studio. Building specialists recommend applying passive design principles. For example, homeowners can opt for an area where the backyard studio is shaded from the summer heat, while taking advantage of its warmth during winter.

A Modern Outdoor Living Space

For a modern outdoor living space, Classic Cabins offers single-room backyard studio kits suitable for many applications. The studio can be a sleepout for kids, a teenage retreat cabin or a stylish home office. The kits include a wide double sliding glass door, a fully insulated cathedral roof and walls pre-fitted with Protectafoil, among a wide range of features.
