A Balmain couple wanted an independent studio dwelling in their backyard for a parent, without compromising the heritage-character garden. The challenge: a narrow side access and a slope that required a suspended slab.

  • DA approval management and council liaison
  • Suspended concrete slab over sloped site
  • Rendered masonry exterior with timber batten privacy screening
  • Full kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and separate bedroom
  • Custom joinery throughout — wardrobe, kitchen, and bathroom vanity
  • Landscaping tie-in and access path to main dwelling
In-house joinery advantage

The kitchen and bathroom vanity were built in our workshop, sized to the millimetre for the compact footprint. No standard carcass fits a 60m² build without compromise — we don't compromise.

"Mum moved in and immediately felt at home. The quality is indistinguishable from the main house."

Homeowner — Balmain
