Backyard home office

We all deserve to have a comfortable backyard home office when working from home.

Every day, more and more people across Sydney and the country are working from home. What started as a temporary solution during COVID has become a long-term reality for many. But working from home isn’t always the ideal scenario we imagined.

Picture this: You’re at your dining room table or kitchen bench, laptop open, trying to focus on an important task. Suddenly, the kids burst in from school, the dog needs walking, or your partner asks about dinner plans. Sound familiar?

For those of us working from home, the lines between professional and personal life have blurred. We’re not just working; we’re juggling multiple roles simultaneously. Interruptions, phone calls, errands, and family responsibilities constantly nibble away at our precious productive hours. In short, there’s no concrete distinction between when work ends and home begins.

But what if there was a solution? A way to create a dedicated workspace that offers the comfort of home with the productivity of an office?

Meet the backyard home office – your new work sanctuary awaits.

Why an office in the backyard?

For people who work from home, a backyard office is a clear, defined place to get work done. Unlike the dining table ‘home office’ where you’re at the beck and call of everything vying for your attention, the backyard office brings you greater calm and focus while promoting productivity and creativity.

What’s more, today’s backyard offices are far from simple sheds or workshops. They can be equipped with all the amenities you’d expect in a professional workspace, including heating, air conditioning, and high-speed internet connectivity. These modern structures offer a personal retreat that fosters greater freedom and flexibility in your work.

One of the most appealing aspects of a backyard office is its cost-effectiveness. Unlike traditional home extensions or detached workshops, which can be prohibitively expensive, a backyard office can be designed to complement your existing home’s style and decor at a fraction of the price. This means you can create a functional and attractive workspace without breaking the bank.

Additionally, a well-designed backyard office can actually enhance your property’s curb appeal. It’s an investment that not only improves your work-life balance but potentially adds value to your home. With a backyard office, you’re essentially getting the best of both worlds: a professional workspace that’s both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

Sounds interesting?

Even if you’ve been thinking about adding a backyard office space or studio to your home, you may not have realised precisely what goes into it or where to start with learning more. 

It’s also crucial to know exactly what you’re buying. Inferior sheds are sometimes made with shipping pallets and particleboard, causing them to crack and warp under even the most forgiving Australian weather conditions. These poor-quality designs are an open invitation to termites, mould and other fungi. Don’t get caught with an inferior product in your backyard. Do your research and make sure the backyard office building you buy is Australian-made, complies with Australian Building Standards, and is backed by a reliable warranty.

Trust in us

Our premium quality backyard offices for people working from home, workshops, and studios, use only premium timber framing and cladding and come with a 10-year structural warranty. As Australia’s first nationwide builder and distributor of prefab cottages and cabanas, Melwood has almost fifty years of craftsmanship experience and expertise.

Versatility

Our buildings are much more than a simple shell – a Melwood outdoor home office is designed to protect and preserve, while meeting or exceeding all building standards and regulations.  Beyond a backyard office space, many of our customers use their Melwood buildings as art studios, exercise rooms, wood or metalworking shops and much more. With so many flexible design options to choose from, you’ll never run out of new ideas for using your added space to the fullest.

Australian quality matters

Melwood outdoor home offices are built right here in Australia to strict quality codes and assurances.  Inferior “workshops” and “studios” are often made from imported materials that simply can’t withstand the local climate, and may not be up to code. The last thing you want to do is endanger your safety with a poor quality imported piece, hastily and carelessly put together.

Modular, durable, flexible

Our modular and personalisable system has been designed to be both durable and long-lasting. You’ll find that your new Melwood backyard office space gives you peace and comfort, but also truly completes the look of your property. From a small, quaint studio to a full backyard workshop, a Melwood provides the space you deserve at prices you won’t believe.  Each piece is made in our Sydney factory and available for delivery directly into your backyard.

Bushfire safe

Even if you live in an area that’s prone to bushfires, you’ll be glad to know that you can still enjoy all the benefits of a backyard office building. Call one of our helpful, friendly Solutioneers today and ask about our range of BAL-rated cladding and upgrades for our cabana, cottage and office building products.

So the real question then becomes…how do I get my own outdoor home office?

It’s fast and easy! You can get your own personalisable backyard studio, cabana, garden room or shed to use as a backyard office in just a few weeks with a PreCrafted building from Greenspan.
