Working from the kitchen table gets old fast. So does a gym membership you never use. A modular backyard building gives you a proper space for work, training or a creative hobby, without moving house.
Why a separate building beats a spare room
- A real commute: a 20-second walk that separates work from home life
- Quiet: away from the TV, the kids and the dishwasher
- Professional: a clean background for video calls and a place to meet clients
- Adds value: a quality, approved studio appeals to future buyers

Planning tips
- Power and data: plan enough outlets, air conditioning and a strong internet connection from day one.
- Flooring for gyms: choose rubber or reinforced flooring for heavy weights.
- Light and airflow: big glass doors and cross-ventilation keep it comfortable in a Queensland summer.
- Approvals: a habitable or large backyard building generally needs building approval, and council rules on size and setbacks apply. We check this in your site assessment.
Studio today, granny flat tomorrow
Add a bathroom and kitchenette and a studio can become guest accommodation or a granny flat later, subject to approval. Planning for plumbing at the start keeps that option open. See the Lume Office 50, Lume Gym 60 and Lume Entertainment, or browse all models.
