European studios developed for Aussies
All YZY backyard studios and granny flats have been designed to suit Australian regulations: our backyard cabins (up to 20m²) may be built as an exempt development and granny flats as complying development.
An Exempt Development in NSW which in simple English means if the use of the cabin is non-habitable, it may be installed without Council approval (download 1-page extract from NSW planning policy). For an exempt development in NSW floor area of the building has to be not more than 20 m² and the height of the buildings is up to 3 m. We also wanted to maximize the comfort of our designs and made our Sicilia Panorama 20m² and Corsica Panorama 18m² to have the average internal ceiling height of 2.4 m which also satisfies the requirement for a habitable room. Also, more windows were added to our studios’ range as Aussies live in a piece of paradise and are blessed to have 90% of sunny days a year and like enjoying it. Also, downunders are used to open their windows outwards in contrast to Northern Europeans who open their windows inwards, so engineers redesigned windows to be convenient.
A Complying development in most cases will not require development approval (DA). YZY granny flats have a living area of less than 60 m² which conforms to council requirements for a 2nd dwelling and in most cases will be built as a Complying Development which is less expensive and shorter process in getting approved (other conditions apply and standards are different in every state, so please consult with your nearest builder of YZY Kit Homes, council or private certifier for further information). All our granny flat designs were created with high ceilings, roomy bedrooms and open plan living spaces to suit the taste of Australians.
Feel free to contact your local builder to know about your particular site requirements.
YZY Kit Homes way to Australia
Originated in Northern Europe a long time ago, so-called Scandinavian structures, YZY cabins come from Europe, where Nordic Pine Spruce is grown in FSC certified forests. When trees are ready, they are cut, delivered to the manufacturing facility, treated in a wood drying kiln and then milled according to the engineering drawings. All parts are then packed on a pallet and shipped to Australia.
Over 30 years of operation, manufacturing facility with over 200 people working with automated and computerised production lines has delivered more than 150,000 various sized buildings including residential homes, commercial buildings, backyard cabins and granny flats. The factory is well-known for its state-of-the-art German-made technology and highly skilled staff. Producing high quality Scandinavian buildings and delivering not only to European countries but also to Australia, New Zealand, USA, Japan, China, safe and sound delivery through long distances is assured as processes are well-known and mastered during the years.
Materials: Healthy, Recyclable, Sustainable
Nordic Pine Spruce, material YZY products are made of, is hardy wood harvested from FSC certified forests. Not only does this means that YZY backyard studios and granny flats don’t hurt our Planet Earth but also are healthy for people to be in. You will be delighted to feel the smell of wood inside a cabin, breath in with ease.
“First of all, we are people, just the same as you or others with whom you communicate every day and then we are a business organization strongly determined to make it easy and enjoyable for people to get a quality and yet affordable space for living, working or leisure time. Everything we do is what we would like to get yourselves when looking for building a new home or a backyard studio as an extra space. Therefore, we can promise that we will not lack neither the desire nor the energy nor the time to be simple, understandable, human and honest.”
