Creative people often need offices. That’s where a multi-purpose pod like this combination photography studio and darkroom provides a custom solution, whatever your work-from-home needs. The cheapest way to get a decent-sized home office or work studio in your backyard is by starting with an office pod or studio pod kit from Backyard Pods. Check out the real-life construction shots from this customer’s backyard studio project at Newcastle NSW.

Photographers almost started the WFH movement with photography, since the advent of the camera, often conducted by photographers with studios and darkrooms at home.

Fast forward to today and many photographers are using Backyard Pods to create cost-effective and spacious studios and darkrooms, often combined with office facilities as well, and sometimes versatile enough to become guest accommodation when needed.

You can get a photography studio of your design using prefab buildings or flat-pack kits from Backyard Pods. Our pod structures are ideal for backyard studios because the flooring system is integrated (no slab), keeping the environment dry and making it easy to get wiring and cables exactly where you want them. Prefab backyard studios come pre-wired and also pre-plumbed when bathroom and/or kitchenette facilities are included.

Some property owners can have a small backyard studio as an exempt development but most often, these buildings need approval because they’re really a ‘room’ (not a shed) when people fit them out with Gyprock interior lining, floor coverings, and furniture or office equipment for frequent or habitual use. Getting approval is no great drama for most people, however, and it certainly adds value to any home when you build an extra room (that people are allowed to sleep in or use for additional working or living area) and not just an unlined and uncomfortable shed.

Whatever your work-from-home or photography studio needs, we can help you more quickly and affordably using a prefab building or flat-pack kit (either installed or DIY).
