    • Backyard studiosAbout backyard studios The backyard studio is a category of buildings that includes backyard cabins, teenage retreats, home offices, sewing rooms, pool houses, music rooms, guest cabins – any habitable building that’s separate from the main house but not fully self-contained like a granny flat. Your idea of a backyard studio might be a simple spare room with no plumbing, which would be the cheapest option. Some people just want a sink or powder room, while others want an ensuite and sometimes a kitchenette as well. Browse our wide variety of real-life customer examples for ideas and inspiration on backyard studios.
