Urban Studio
6.0 × 3.2mThe perfect backyard second home — self-contained, with a separate bathroom and laundry.
A 3.2m-wide home with a real bathroom and a real flushing toilet — built in Melbourne, and registered as a caravan. That one fact is why a MicroHome can go where a granny flat can't.
Most people arrive here for one of three reasons. Pick the one that sounds like you — each goes straight to the honest version of that story.

Sell the big house, shed the upkeep, and put a home that actually suits the way you live now on the block you love.
Downsizing & tree-change
A second, self-contained home in the backyard: real privacy for a parent or an adult kid, a few steps from your door.
The granny-flat alternative
A relocatable, self-contained dwelling on a spare block, sited in weeks rather than years. Run your own numbers on it.
Tiny home as an investment
Can’t get permits?
Get a MicroHome.
A MicroHome gives you all the comforts of a traditional home, except it’s on wheels and registered as a caravan (Victoria only), even though it’s 3.2m wide.
MicroHomes Group has a special arrangement with VicRoads that allows us to register MicroHomes as a caravan. So if your council will allow you to stay in a caravan in your area, you can do the same in a MicroHome.

Every MicroHome
That is the whole difference. A granny flat has to earn its way onto your land as a building. A MicroHome arrives as a registered vehicle and stays one — so the question changes from “can I build here?” to “can I keep a caravan here?” Here’s how to find out for your block.
The extra width is the difference between a corridor and a home. It's room for a real separate bedroom, a full bathroom with laundry, and the furniture you already own.
That's roughly a third more floor area than a standard 2.4m tiny house — and it still moves on its own registered chassis, delivered to your site as an over-dimension load.
Every MicroHome starts with a chassis we engineered ourselves — then it's finished to the standard of a home you'd never want to leave.

FEA-tested and 3D-modelled — one of the lightest, most rigid frames on the market.
Step in, not climb up. Greater stability and genuinely easy access.
Fire-resistant structure, gutter system and commercial-grade toughened, double-glazed glazing.
A real flushing toilet, reverse-cycle climate control, a full kitchen and off-grid options.
One system, four footprints. Start with the Urban Studio — the rest of the range follows the same engineering and the same finish.

The perfect backyard second home — self-contained, with a separate bathroom and laundry.

A genuine one-bedroom home with a separate living zone — room to actually spread out.

Any two of our sizes, joined into one home — a true 53m² as two 9.0m modules.

A blank-canvas room for a home office, consulting room or studio. No plumbing.
Four clear steps, one dedicated project manager, and a fixed timeline you can plan your life around.
We map your site, needs and budget, and tailor a layout that fits your block.
Built in our Melbourne factory — 12 weeks from the start of your build. Build queues vary with demand, so we tell you where you sit in the queue before you commit.
We take care of delivery and placement. Transported on its own registered chassis and set level on site by our team — even tight or sloping blocks.
Connect services and settle in. One project manager stays with you the whole way.

How long you can stay, and whether it can be your only home, are decided by your council and your zone — so they have to be confirmed for your address before you commit. We’ll walk you through exactly how it works for your property before you commit.
Being built on a registered chassis changes which approvals apply. Watch how it works — and what it means for putting a second home in your backyard.
MicroHomes Group have exceeded our expectations. Hayden and his team have made the whole experience wonderful, with a no-problem attitude they custom designed, built, delivered and installed with millimetre accuracy a beautiful, functional and comfortable Micro Home.
MicroHomes built and delivered the unit on time and on budget. Our site was challenging as it was steep and muddy, but they installed it perfectly. The unit was very well built with quality fit out inside. I highly recommend MicroHomes, a trustworthy supplier.
I can sincerely recommend MicroHome Groups who built our beautiful 8 metre studio. Hayden was a pleasure to deal with, always attentive and the home was delivered on budget and within the stated time frame. In addition, a tight installation location proved no issue.
Finished MicroHomes on the blocks they were delivered to — inside and out, plus the parts most builders never show you: the chassis, the delivery, the levelling and the bathroom.
A MicroHome can be a…
Permits, pricing, timelines and what a MicroHome can actually do — the short answers.
A MicroHome is a fully self-contained dwelling on a registered chassis — with a real kitchen, a separate bathroom, and reverse-cycle heating and cooling. Unlike a caravan or a typical tiny house, it’s engineered to the standard of a building: a 3.2m-wide home built to BAL 29 Bushfire Resistant standards that you can place, and move.
It’s a complete home, so it can be almost anything: a granny flat, a teen retreat, a backyard office or studio, a holiday home, or a short- or long-term rental investment.
No. Our proprietary chassis lets us build to 3.2m wide — about 33% more floor area than a standard 2.4m tiny house — with closable doors for a genuinely separate bedroom and bathroom. MicroHomes are also engineered to building-code standards and built to BAL 29 Bushfire Resistant standards, which most tiny houses are not.
The Urban Studio starts from $144,100 inc GST. From there: the Urban Multispace from $88,000, and the Urban One Bedroom from $149,000 including delivery within Melbourne metro (both inc GST). There is no standard Urban Modular — every one is custom and quoted against the design you choose, but as a worked example, two Urban 8432 modules run to roughly $260,000 inc GST. Installation is quoted job by job and is not included in any of these figures, and utility connections, site works and registration are additional.
The build itself takes 12 weeks from the day your build starts. Before that there is a queue, and how long you wait for a slot varies with demand — so the honest answer is 12 weeks of building, plus however long the queue is when you sign. We tell you where you sit in the queue before you commit.

Yes — every MicroHome is designed to suit you. We work with you on layout, finishes and fit-out, within the practical limits of a home that also has to be road-legal and self-contained.
We deliver and install your home to the location agreed in your contract, via a licensed transport company. The low-floor design lets us set it level and stable even on tight, steep or muddy sites, then we help connect your services and hand over.
Yes. We offer a solar-powered option as well as fully off-grid solutions for sites where access to services is limited.
Yes — we usually have at least one finished home in the workshop. Get in touch to book a factory tour and walk through one in person.
No — we build homes, and we don’t arrange, broker or refer finance. Most buyers use savings or downsizing proceeds, personal or caravan finance, or equity in a property they already own; that’s general information, not financial advice, and which one suits you is a question for your own adviser. What we will do is give you an itemised build cost in writing so whoever you talk to is working from real numbers.
Visit the Melbourne factory, walk through a finished MicroHome, and see the 3.2m difference for yourself.
