Who Is the Oasis Workpod Best Suited To?

Oasis is particularly suited to homeowners who want a compact workspace but do not want their backyard office to feel closed off from the garden.

Its combination of a double-sliding glazed door, an awning window and two sliding windows makes it worth considering when natural light and connection to the backyard matter to how you want to use the room.

Oasis may suit you if you want:

  • A dedicated home office away from household activity
  • A naturally brighter workspace with several glazed openings
  • A study or creative room with room for a permanent setup
  • A quiet personal space separate from shared living areas
  • A compact 10sqm pod without moving into a larger garden studio

Why Choose Oasis for a Light-Filled Backyard Office?

If you spend several hours working from your backyard, windows can influence how the room feels just as much as its floor area.

More Than One View Outside

Oasis includes a double-glazed double-sliding door, an awning window and two sliding windows, creating multiple openings rather than relying on a single glazed entrance.

Stay Connected to Your Backyard

The glazing provides visual connection to the garden outside, helping the pod feel like part of your backyard rather than an enclosed room detached from it.

A Dedicated Place for Your Setup

At 10sqm, Oasis gives your desk, monitors, chair, storage and other work essentials their own permanent location.

Insulation Where It Matters

The current specification lists R2.5 wall insulation, R1.5 floor insulation and R2.5 ceiling insulation, supporting thermal performance across the pod’s building envelope.

What’s Included in an Oasis Workpod?

Oasis combines a prefabricated steel structure with specified insulation, extensive glazing, finished flooring and electrical provisions to create a practical backyard home office.

Prefabricated Steel Structure

A steel subfloor, walls and roof form the prefabricated structural framework of Oasis.

Full Insulation

The specification includes R2.5 insulation to the walls, R1.5 to the floor and R2.5 to the ceiling.

Weathertex Exterior

Weathertex cladding is specified for the façade and one side, with colour selection forming part of the personalisation process.

Double-Glazed Openings

Oasis includes a double-glazed double-sliding door, an awning window and two sliding windows, bringing daylight into the interior.

Laminated Flooring

Laminated flooring with underlay provides a finished surface ready for your chosen furniture and office setup.

Power & Lighting

The electrical specification includes double GPOs, lighting provisions and a caravan socket, supporting practical everyday use.

Will I Need a Permit for a 10sqm Oasis Workpod?

A 10sqm backyard office pod is not automatically permit-free in Victoria. Certain small non-habitable structures may qualify for a building permit exemption, but the applicable requirements extend beyond floor area alone.

Factors such as the exact dimensions, height, intended use, location on the property, setbacks and other building requirements need to be considered. Planning controls, including the property’s zone and any applicable overlays, may also affect the project.

Backyard Oasis can review your intended use and proposed location to help establish what requirements apply to your property.

Check What Applies to My Backyard

Is Oasis the Right Workpod for Your Backyard?

Oasis is worth considering when you want close to the maximum footprint commonly associated with compact Workpods, but natural light and visual connection to your backyard are also important to you.

Before choosing the model, consider the practical side of your site. Available area, access, setbacks, boundaries, existing structures, trees, services and applicable property controls can influence where the pod can be positioned.

The orientation is worth considering too. With several glazed openings, where Oasis sits in relation to your garden, sunlight and surrounding buildings can affect how you experience the room throughout the day.

    Oasis FAQs

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is 10sqm enough for a backyard home office?

    For many one-person setups, 10sqm can provide practical space for a desk, chair, monitors and storage, depending on the dimensions of your furniture and equipment. Planning the layout around what you actually use each day is the best way to determine whether Oasis provides enough room for your work style.

    What makes Oasis different from other Backyard Oasis Workpods?

    A key feature of Oasis is its glazing configuration. The current specification includes a double-glazed double-sliding door, an awning window and two sliding windows, alongside insulation to the floor, walls and ceiling. This makes natural light and connection with the backyard an important part of the Oasis design.

    Is the Oasis Workpod insulated?

    Yes. The current Oasis specification lists R2.5 insulation in the walls, R1.5 in the floor and R2.5 in the ceiling. Insulation supports the pod’s thermal performance, although actual internal comfort will also depend on factors such as orientation, weather conditions, glazing, ventilation and any heating or cooling you add.

    Does a 10sqm Oasis pod need a building permit in Victoria?

    Do not assume that a 10sqm office pod requires no building permit based on floor area alone. Certain small non-habitable structures may qualify for exemptions when all relevant requirements are satisfied. Proposed use, dimensions, height, siting, setbacks and other property conditions should be checked before proceeding.

    Can Oasis be used for something other than a home office?

    Oasis can suit study, creative projects, hobbies or quiet personal use as well as a home office. Your intended use matters because it can affect design and regulatory requirements. If you intend to use the pod for accommodation or another habitable purpose, different requirements may apply and should be established before proceeding.

    Is Oasis an eco-friendly backyard pod?

    The current page describes Oasis and the wider range using environmental language, but I would avoid treating “eco-friendly” as an absolute product claim without defined supporting criteria. More useful, verifiable details include its specified insulation, prefabricated steel structure, Weathertex cladding and double-glazed openings.
