In Western Australia, Perth homeowners are adding about five percent value to their properties with economically priced backyard studios.
Straight Edge Steel Frame Homes, based at Mullaloo, has its own design named ‘The Studio’, which can be completed to lockup stage in 28 days. Alternatively, clients can opt to build it themselves as owner builders.
Tax benefits are an added incentive for those who need The Studio to work at home.
Layout ensures privacy
This extraordinarily clever studio kit has a bedroom with walk in wardrobe partitioned off from the open plan kitchen, living and dining area, a bathroom, laundry and toilet, a broom cupboard, and a deck, all in its small ‘footprint’ of 40.8 square metres.
The Studio layout ensures privacy where needed, and the generous deck expands the living space. Its interior is uplifting, with a fresh and airy atmosphere. Owners of The Studio say it’s a breeze to keep clean and to upkeep.
This innovative prefabricated studio kit is built with quality materials and has two affordable pricing options, less than $50,000.
Fifty-year guarantee
As with all Straight Edge’s homes, high strength 90mm Bluescope Truecore Enduro steel wall frames and trusses are used and come with a 50-year framing guarantee. Roofing is Colorbond.
Clients can also submit their own designs for self-contained backyard accommodation with kitchen, bathroom-cum-laundry, and walk-in wardrobe.
Straight Edge’s drafting service will prepare full working drawings, after which the prefabricated high-quality steel framing and all other hardware needed for the project will be delivered to the site.
Superior finishes
Straight Edge Steel Frame Homes’ director, Scott Elsley, encourages clients to take advantage of the experienced, qualified trades who have worked with the company’s clients during the past 10 years.
Their assistance has resulted in superior finishes and ensured all aspects of the constructions have met building codes, as well as any local government requirements.
Straight Edge Steel Frame Homes’ backyard studio kit can make a massive difference to a family’s quality of life, creating a setting for multigenerational living.
The Studio answers a growing need to work from home uninterrupted by family activities. It is also a space where senior relatives can be comfortably housed with a good degree of privacy. Government-subsidised home care can often be arranged for cleaning and transport services.
Alternatively, The Studio is a rentable space.
All in all, The Studio by Straight Edge Steel Frame Homes has many uses and, despite its dimensions, does not feel cramped.
Personalised service
Straight Edge Steel Frame Homes carries a range of steel-framed kit houses, including cottages, the master suite sized ‘Sleepout’, and The Studio. All have fixed prices.
The company is wholly West Australian owned and opened its doors in December 2011. Since then, Owner Builders who consulted with Scott say they built their prefabricated steel-framed kits or custom designed homes with him because of his personalised service.
