Premium Backyard Retreats
Why an additional dwelling is one of the smartest things you can build
A separate building on the same block: flexible space that adds value now and adapts as the family changes.
As Australian families continue to evolve, so do the ways we use our homes. More homeowners are looking beyond traditional renovations and discovering the benefits of additional dwellings: flexible, functional spaces that add value, improve lifestyle and adapt to changing family needs.
At Eleven Build Co we design and build premium additional dwellings, backyard retreats, pool houses, studios and secondary dwellings that complement your existing home. Whether you're in Hervey Bay, Dundowran, Dundowran Beach, Nikenbah, Urangan, Point Vernon, Craignish, Burrum Heads, Toogoom, Howard, Torquay, Eli Waters, River Heads, Maryborough or anywhere across the Fraser Coast, an additional dwelling can unlock the full potential of your property.
What is an additional dwelling?
An additional dwelling is a separate building on the same property as your existing home. Depending on its design and intended use, it may be used for family accommodation, entertaining, working from home or simply creating more living space.
Unlike basic backyard structures, our additional dwellings are designed with premium finishes, timeless architecture and practical floorplans that feel like a natural extension of your home.
Why more homeowners are choosing them
An additional dwelling offers far more than extra space. It provides flexibility for today while preparing your home for tomorrow.
- Increasing the functionality of your property
- Creating flexible living options for changing family needs
- Adding value to your home
- Improving outdoor entertaining
- Providing separation between work and home life
- Creating private spaces for guests or extended family
- Future-proofing your property for years to come
Endless possibilities
One of the greatest advantages of an additional dwelling is its versatility. A Premium Backyard Retreat can be used as almost anything you need it to be, and as the family's needs change, the retreat can change with them.

Designed around your lifestyle
Every family is different, which is why we have developed a collection of thoughtfully designed floorplans that maximise natural light, functionality and everyday living.
The Pool House is the first release in the Premium Backyard Retreats range, available now in four facade styles — Resort, Coastal Beach House, Modern Farmhouse and Queenslander — with Bronze, Silver and Gold specification levels to suit different budgets. Further designs in the collection, including backyard studios and one and two bedroom retreats, are in development.
Built for the Fraser Coast
Living on the Fraser Coast means making the most of the climate. Our designs embrace outdoor living with generous entertaining areas, quality materials and timeless finishes built to withstand Queensland conditions.
Whether your property overlooks the beach at Dundowran Beach, sits on acreage in Booral, or is in Eli Waters, Urangan, Point Vernon, Craignish, Toogoom, Burrum Heads, River Heads or Maryborough, we will help create an additional dwelling that suits your home and the way you live.
