Melwood Mod
Melwood Mod
Inspired by modernist and coastal architecture, the Mod is a bright, airy design featuring highlight windows and a skillion roof, effortlessly connecting inside and out with a full-width deck.
Your Mod.
As Easy As 1, 2, 3.
Like every Melwood, your Mod is designed around you and available in three size ranges – the Mini, the Shed and the Studio.
Customise your Shed or larger Studio in these three easy steps:
1 Choose your size
10m2 to 54m2 or larger, with flexible panel configurations to set the width and length.
2 Select your wall height
The Shed’s standard 2.1m walls can be upgraded to 2.4m, while the Studio features 2.4m walls as standard.
3 Personalise your design
Choose your cladding and colours, and select from a vast range of window and door styles and sizes, along with their placement.
For an even simpler option, the scaled-down Mini Mod offers the same modernist style in a compact, approval-friendly footprint. With a floor under 10m2 and the overall height kept below 2.4m, it’s a set package that’s ready to go, with no decisions to make.
One Mod.
Multiple Ways.
The Mod complements many architectural styles and is suited to a multitude of uses.
With its bright, airy, light-filled interior, it’s a popular choice for a home office, pool cabana, creative workspace or art studio.
But the possibilities don’t stop there. Take a look at how others have used the Mod for almost every other purpose imaginable, from teen and parent retreats to laundry rooms, home gyms and comfortable guest accommodation.

FAQs
The Mod is a contemporary design in the Melwood range, defined by its skillion roof, highlight windows and full-width deck. Its bright, light-filled interior makes it a popular choice for home offices, art studios, and pool cabanas, while its clean, modernist lines complement many architectural styles of homes.
The Mod comes in three size ranges with options for both habitable and non-habitable use. The Mini is a compact, fixed 10m2 design with 1.8m walls and pre-determined windows, doors and colours – a simpler, ready-to-go option in the same modernist style. The Shed and Studio are both fully customisable, with your choice of windows, doors, cladding and finishes. The Shed sizes range from 10m² to 20m², with 2.1m walls as standard and an optional upgrade to 2.4m, while the larger Studio has sizes from 20m² to 54m² or more, with 2.4m walls as standard. The specification table above compares them in full. Find out more about the choices you can make in our complete guide to personalisation options.
A skillion roof is a single, gently sloping roof plane, rather than the two-sided pitch of a traditional gable. It gives the Mod its clean, contemporary profile, and creates room for the front highlight windows that fill the interior with natural light.
The Mod’s bright, light-filled interior lends itself to many uses. Popular choices include home offices, art and creative studios, pool cabanas and home gyms. However, the list goes on – with the right approvals in place, a Mod can be fitted out for almost any purpose, and because it is a standalone building, its use can change along with your needs over time.
