When David wanted to build a poolside studio to extend the space in his family home, a DIY project proved to be the ideal solution. Set in an elevated position in the tropical setting of Mount Gravatt, Queensland, this Sprucescape cabin looks right at home. With a bedroom, ensuite, and living area complete with a kitchenette, the studio provides a comfortable, self-sufficient retreat for David’s adult son, helping restore space and harmony to the family home.
DIY: The Smart, Cost-Effective Solution
With the average age of young adults moving out of the family home steadily rising in Australia, DIY backyard cabins offer a win-win solution for families needing more space. This was certainly the case for David. After researching several options, including costly renovations, he found that building a DIY cabin was faster, simpler, and far more cost-effective.
As a tradie, David was familiar with the hassle of planning and executing renovations—finding materials, hiring trades, and enduring months of disruption. When he discovered our prefab Sprucescape backyard cabin online, he realized he could take on the project himself with the help of our easy-to-follow instructional videos.
David reached out to Classic Kit Homes, our experienced backyard cabins builder servicing Brisbane, for some advice. Confident in his ability to follow the DIY process, David purchased Sprucescape cabin kit and decided to build the cabin with the help of his son. This not only saved a significant amount on the project cost, but also gave father and son the opportunity to bond over a rewarding project.
Adding Space and Style, the DIY Way
The DIY-built studio, with panoramic windows, French doors, and an undercover deck, perfectly complements its tropical surroundings overlooking the pool. It offers the ideal space to take in the views and relax.
Complete with a bedroom, ensuite, and kitchenette, the studio has given David’s son a private, comfortable space to call his own, while allowing the family to reclaim space in their existing home. It’s a win-win solution that restored balance to their living arrangements.
