What We Do

Shed Living NZ is a design and build company specialising in custom-designed, habitable shed spaces that are both practical and architecturally refined.

We offer a fully personalised service, working closely with you from concept through to completion. Our experienced planners, designers, and trusted contractors ensure a seamless, well-managed process every step of the way.

Working alongside trusted steel frame shed manufacturers, we deliver customised buildings using advanced roll-formed steel technology that replaces traditional heavy steel construction—while still offering the comfort, functionality, and style of a modern living space.

Unlike some standard shed structures, which are often not suitable or compliant for residential use, our designs are specifically developed to meet building code and council requirements from the outset.

Our innovative approach allows the shed structure to be classified as an “Importance Level 1” building, while the habitable portion is designed as an “Importance Level 2” building. The result is a fully compliant, intelligently designed space, giving you complete confidence that your investment is both secure and built to last.
