Karapiro Shed Home Build in Lincoln

Another Karapiro, this time in Lincoln. With interest rates on the rise, our clients wanted a cost-effective first move on their large, empty section: somewhere to live, somewhere to keep the caravan, and room to build the main house later.

The finished Lincoln shed home from the road: black steel cladding, two roller doors, a gravel drive and the Lifestyle Builds sign out front

Project overview

70m²Living
96m²Garage
155.6m²Roof area
1 bed, 1 bathBeds and baths
2-carGarage
2.6mHigh roller doors

A smart first move

Rather than stretch for the full house straight away, they put it on hold and built this one-bedroom minor dwelling first. It gives them a warm home and serious storage now, without closing off the bigger plan for the section.

Room for the caravan

The garage was built with 2.6m high roller doors so the caravan drives straight in. At 96m², the two-car garage has room for plenty more besides.

A pantry and a patio

Two additions to the standard Karapiro make the living side work harder: a pantry off the kitchen, and a covered patio for the evenings.

Storage and living space in the right balance: sorted for now, with the main house still to come when the time is right.
