The Problem

Working from home shouldn’t mean working from your living room.

The dining table isn’t a desk. The spare bedroom isn’t an office. You need separation between work and home — physically, not just mentally.

An Outhaus studio sits independently on your block. Your own front door, climate control, power, and data. Step out of your house, walk 30 seconds, and you’re at work.

Same build standard as a house. Installed in days. No renovation required.

Common questions.

Do I need council approval for a home office?

In many QLD council areas, a secondary dwelling can be approved through a building certifier. We guide you through the process for your specific block.

Is it just a fancy shed?

No. Every Outhaus is a Class 1a residential building — same classification as your house. Full insulation, waterproofing, fire separation, and wet area compliance.

Can I add a kitchen later?

Yes. The plumbing and electrical rough-in is designed to accommodate a kitchenette upgrade. The smaller models ship with a bathroom only.

Can I also rent it out?

Absolutely. Because it’s Class 1a, you can use it as a home office now and rent it as a dwelling later. Maximum flexibility.

What’s included in the price?

Structure, envelope, flooring, walls, painting, electrical, A/C, and full bathroom. Kitchen fit-out included on models 6.0m and above.

"We had a 6×3m studio installed by Outhaus and the process was straightforward from start to finish. The team handled everything, kept us informed, and delivered faster than expected."
