Who Is the LuxeHaven Garden Studio Best Suited To?

LuxeHaven suits homeowners who want a finished backyard room with more flexibility than a compact pod, while still having a choice over how much backyard space the studio occupies.

It can be considered when you are creating:

A home office with more room for your everyday working setup
A creative or hobby studio with space for materials, equipment and storage
A personal retreat away from the activity of the main house
A multipurpose garden room that needs to adapt to different activities
A studio with additional amenities, including a bathroom and your choice of wardrobe or kitchenette

With two footprints available, LuxeHaven also gives you more choice over how you balance usable studio space with the backyard you want to retain.

20sqm or 25sqm: Which LuxeHaven Suits You?

Both LuxeHaven options give you dedicated backyard space with a bathroom. The better fit comes down to how you intend to use the room, how much internal space you need and what works with your property. Both options can be personalised through the design consultation.

20 SQM

More Compact, Still Versatile

The 20sqm option can suit homeowners who want a dedicated studio while keeping the overall backyard footprint more contained.

Consider 20sqm if:

Your intended use does not require an extensive open floor area
Retaining more garden space is important
You want a comfortable office, hobby room or personal space
A smaller footprint works better with your available site

25 SQM

More Room to Set Up Your Space

The 25sqm option provides additional floor area when your intended use needs more room for furniture, equipment, storage or multiple activities.

Consider 25sqm if:

You want a larger workspace or creative area
Your setup requires additional furniture or storage
You expect the studio to serve more than one purpose
Your backyard can comfortably accommodate the larger footprint

What’s Included in a LuxeHaven Garden Studio?

LuxeHaven combines a prefabricated steel structure with a finished bathroom, insulated construction and completed interior, plus a choice between a wardrobe or kitchenette, depending on how you want to use the space.

Prefabricated Steel Structure

The current specification includes prefabricated steel subfloors, walls and roof, providing the structural framework for LuxeHaven.

Insulated Construction

The walls and roof are fully insulated to help support a more comfortable internal environment throughout Melbourne’s changing seasons.

Weathertex & Colorbond Exterior

Weathertex cladding forms the façade, with Colorbond corrugated sheeting to the other sides, plus Colorbond gutters and downpipes.

Windows & Sliding Door

The current specification includes a single-glazed sliding door, awning windows with flyscreens and a translucent bathroom window with a flyscreen.

Finished Bathroom & Interior

A tiled and waterproofed bathroom with fittings and fixtures is included, together with plastered and painted internal walls, hybrid flooring, architraves, skirting and cornice.

Wardrobe or Kitchenette

Choose between a wardrobe or kitchenette to help configure LuxeHaven around the way you intend to use the studio. Electrical provisions, including double GPOs, switches, internal and external lights and a smoke detector are also included in the current specification.

What Approvals Do I Need for LuxeHaven?

A 20sqm or 25sqm garden studio should not be assumed to be permit-free. A building permit will generally be required for a structure of this size, while any planning requirements depend on your individual property, proposed siting and intended use. Factors, including your lot size, planning zone, overlays, setbacks and other site-specific conditions, can affect the approval pathway.

The inclusion of a bathroom or kitchenette also does not automatically make LuxeHaven a residential dwelling. How the building will actually be used is important when determining the appropriate design and compliance requirements.

Backyard Oasis can review your property and intended use and help coordinate the relevant documentation, engineering and applicable approvals before construction proceeds.

Is LuxeHaven the Right Garden Studio for Your Backyard?

Choosing between 20sqm and 25sqm is only part of the decision. The studio also needs to work with your property and leave you with a backyard that still functions the way you want it to. Available space, installation access, boundaries and setbacks, existing structures, trees, services, privacy, orientation and applicable planning controls can all affect where LuxeHaven can be positioned and what the project requires.

Considering these factors early can help determine which footprint and configuration are more appropriate for your property.

Need more studio space?

Want a compact home office?

If your main priority is focused work and you do not need the additional space or amenities of LuxeHaven, a smaller Workpod may be a better starting point.

LuxeHaven FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 20sqm and 25sqm LuxeHaven?

Both LuxeHaven options provide a finished backyard studio with a bathroom and a choice of wardrobe or kitchenette. The main difference is the available floor area. The 25sqm option gives you more room for furniture, equipment or multiple uses, while 20sqm keeps the studio footprint more compact.

Does LuxeHaven include a bathroom?

Yes. The current LuxeHaven specification includes a tiled and waterproofed bathroom with fittings and fixtures, as well as a translucent bathroom window with a flyscreen. Final fixtures, finishes, services and other project-specific requirements should be confirmed as part of your individual quote and agreed project scope.

Can I choose between a kitchenette and a wardrobe?

The current LuxeHaven specification provides a choice of wardrobe or kitchenette, allowing you to configure the studio more closely around its intended use. Discuss how you plan to use the room during the design consultation, so the most appropriate fit-out and any associated service requirements can be considered.

Can I use LuxeHaven as a granny flat because it has a bathroom or kitchenette?

A bathroom or kitchenette does not by itself determine whether a garden studio is a small second dwelling. If you intend to use LuxeHaven for independent residential accommodation, tell us from the outset so the proposed use, design and property can be considered against the appropriate Victorian building and planning requirements.

Does a LuxeHaven garden studio need a building permit in Victoria?

A 20sqm or 25sqm LuxeHaven should generally be expected to require a building permit in Victoria. Exemptions available to certain small non-habitable structures should not be assumed to apply. The proposed design, use and property conditions need to be considered when determining the project’s requirements.

Does LuxeHaven need a planning permit in Melbourne?

Whether planning approval is required cannot be determined from the LuxeHaven model alone. Your lot size, planning zone, overlays, proposed siting, intended use and other property-specific controls can affect the approval pathway. At Backyard Oasis, we review these factors and help establish what applies to your proposed studio.
