Some amazing spaces inside backyard studios

Most people want a backyard studio as home office and occasional guest room, or somewhere for the teenagers to hang out that’s separate from the main house. But needs are not always conventional, as you can see from these examples.

Example #1 – the backyard amusement parlour

This husband had a hobby – collecting and storing pinball machines. They were squeezed into every corner of the main house and he wanted his friends to come over and play but his wife was at the end of her tether trying to accommodate his hobby. Then, in a brilliant move by both husband and wife, they came to Backyard Pods for a 4m x 8m backyard studio with powder room and kitchenette. While this description sounds simple enough on paper, the real-life expression of this amazing space is a full-blown fantasy of pinball machines and neon lighting with full bar facilities for entertainment. The inside of the main house remains serene while in the backyard studio, now a neighbourhood focal point, there’s always a party.

Example 2 – the backyard band rehearsal room

When one member of the family plays a musical instrument, unless it’s drums, it’s usually not too hard to fit in the practice and rehearsals around daily life in the home. But if it’s drums, or if there is a whole band involved, then it means either building a separate room for rehearsals or travelling to and from paid rehearsal rooms outside the home. In this example, where more than one member of the family was involved in the same band, the quaint-looking backyard studio, nestled into the garden, concealed a full-blown band rehearsal room that would cost nothing and was always available.
