Backyard Room is a pre-fabricated structure designed by the architects and builders at Archiblox which achieves a minimum six star rating and can be assembled in a matter of weeks.

Passive solar design, sustainable materials, water conservation and energy efficiency all contribute to a garden room that achieves at least six star rating.

The Rooms are architecturally designed and built by Master Builders, with each garden studio designed to fit into any backyard, whether it’s a single fronted terrace or a large open garden.

Co-founder of Backyard Room and architect Bill McCorkell said:

“These days whether people are working from home, starting their own business or doing creative projects, we know the importance of having a space that is removed from the hustle and bustle of the family home,” says co-founder and architect Bill McCorkell.

“At Backyard Room we are offering that space which is architecturally designed, sustainable and cost effective.”

Launched in March this year at the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show where it won the sustainability award and the silver award for best garden, Backyard Room aims to cater to remote workers as well as the general public.

The company claims that with one in ten people now working for themselves and one in 12 paid workers working a couple of days a week from home, Backyard Room taps into a need for people to find a space to work that is separate to home but saves on costs such as office rent and commuting.

Co-founder and builder David Martin said the backyard room is easy and quick to assemble.

“For more difficult sites, the backyard room arrives in a flat pack and we install it on-site in under four days – it’s a simple process that we manage every step of the way,” said Martin.

Built off-site meaning more quality control and efficiency, Backyard Rooms come in a range of designs, sizes and prices to suit any need.

 “Whilst we offer a range of set designs, there is also the opportunity for clients to custom design their own backyard room using our innovative online BUILD.IT tool,” says McCorkell.

The BUILD.IT tool allows clients to build their own backyard room in an easy step-by-step process which shows the associated costs as elements are added.
