About What We Do - Backspace Living

At Backspace we are changing the status quo, one Backspace at a time

Backspace Living’s mission is to challenge the status quo and transform the outdated ‘granny flat’ into a beautifully customised space.

True innovation is born from necessity, as was discovered by Backspace Living founder, Trent Robinson

After taking the conventional route from apprenticeship to building and renovating homes, Trent found himself asking: why, when seeking to improve our homes, do we automatically turn to building an entire new home or renovating it? Why not create a new, separate space?

While further considering these possibilities, Trent found true fulfillment when taking clients on an enjoyable journey to create a space they loved. It was when he’d completed his first ‘granny flat’ build that he realised the untapped potential held by one key area of the home – the backspace. From this, Backspace Living was born.

Backspace Living’s mission is to challenge the status quo and transform the outdated ‘granny flat’ into a beautifully customised space. We build spaces people fall in love with, empowering our clients with cutting-edge, inspirational designs to help them see ‘granny flats’ in a whole new light.

We encourage our clients to get creative because that’s what we feed off. Together, we push the boundaries of their space to ultimately make it work for them. We love nothing more than showing people where 60sqm can take you – from a pool house to a teenage retreat, art studio or investment Airbnb – and we strongly believe in allowing your imagination to run free.

Every build is as unique as its owner, and we want the finished product to reflect your own lifestyle through a backspace built exclusively for you. A build that was once seen as a last resort now becomes a personalised space specifically designed to meet and anticipate your evolving needs. At Backspace Living, we’re breaking the mould, one backspace at a time.

Backspace Living has become the success it is today because of our dedicated, talented and professional team, and their commitment to build our clients the backspace of their dreams

We pride ourselves on crafting high-end architectural spaces that push boundaries to deliver the exact backspace you dream of. But don’t just take our word for it – discover what previous clients have said about their Backspace Living building experiences.
