Melwood eSpace
Melwood eSpace
Sleek, contemporary and sophisticated, the eSpace is a statement garden room with a distinct architectural presence.
Your eSpace.
As Easy As 1, 2, 3.
Stylish vertical cladding, sleek contemporary roofline, and a recessed glazed porch with a Merbau hardwood deck are the striking features that set the eSpace apart.
But like every Melwood, from there, it’s designed with you, for you.
1 Choose your size
12m2 to 54m2 or larger, with 2.4m high walls as standard and flexible panel configurations to set the width and length.
2 Choose your layout
Position the recessed porch to suit your site and needs, and create a left- or right-hand L-shape or C-shape floorplan.
3 Personalise your design
With sustainable Eco-hardwood cladding as a standard inclusion, you have the option to further upgrade to Western Red Cedar for a touch of natural luxury. Select your roofing colour, then choose your aluminium window and door styles, sizes and colour, along with their placement.
For an even simpler option, the scaled-down Mini eSpace offers similar contemporary styling in a choice of compact footprints starting from 6m2, while keeping the overall height under 2.4m. And as a set package, it’s ready to go, with fewer decisions to make.
One eSpace.
Multiple Ways.
The eSpace is the premium choice for those looking to create a luxurious outdoor extension of their home with elevated aesthetics.
Delivering a spacious, light-filled interior that lends itself to more considered uses, the eSpace is well-suited to accommodation or self-contained living spaces. Other customers have showcased the design’s versatility as a home office, music and media room, teenage retreat and even as an off-grid bush retreat.

FAQs
The eSpace is the premium design in the Melwood range, defined by its contemporary lines, a low-pitch skillion roofline, vertical Eco-hardwood cladding and recessed glazed porch with a Merbau deck. It features 2.4m walls as standard, and cladding can be upgraded to Western Red Cedar. With every finish yours to choose, the eSpace makes an architectural statement tailored to your home and site. And if none of the standard sizes suit your space, other sizes and custom options are available on request.
The eSpace sits at the premium end of the range, with a higher specification from the outset. A number of features that would be upgrades for other Melwood designs are included as standard, so there’s less to add to achieve an elevated, high-end result. It’s the design for those who want to start with a premium finish, rather than building up to it. Find out more about the features and finishes on offer in our complete guide to personalisation options.
Yes, with the right approvals in place – the eSpace is available for both habitable and non-habitable use. Whether you can use your eSpace for habitable use on your property, and what approvals you’ll need depend on a number of factors such as where you are, how the land is zoned and how you plan to use the building. Our Design Solutioneers can give you some initial advice, but always confirm with your local council or planning authority.
The eSpace’s spacious, light-filled interior often lends itself to more considered uses. Customers have created home offices, music and media rooms, teenage retreats, self-contained guest accommodation, and even rural retreats, each one tailored to suit.
