Office pod 2m x 5m on top of deck in Noosaville, Sunshine Coast QLD

Normally, decks are not engineered to support another building on top of them. So, when people want to add a room (like a home office) onto the top of an existing deck, it’s not normally doable. Luckily for our customer, our Backyard Pod could appear like an office on the back deck while maintaining full structural integrity for both the deck and the building.

While the building appears to be mounted on the timber decking, in fact the steel foundation piers from Backyard Pods extend through the decking into their concrete footings underneath. It’s an optical illusion that satisfies our customer’s requirements very precisely.

The colour of the external wall cladding is a gentle Colorbond Woodland Grey, with matching gutters and barges, and a matching custom Colorbond roof as well. Approval was handled by our network partner and the entire project was taken care of for our customer.

As an approved building this home office can be used as an extra bedroom or sleepout when required. It’s a definite value-add for the property owner when the site plans can show additional living space that’s separate from the main home.

If you’d like a home office of your own, we’re happy to help.
