Small buildings, built one at a time, in a shop in Deroche and finished in your yard.

A backyard studio is a room that does one job well: an office, a workshop, a place to practice. Three footprints, one way of building them. Sizes below are samples until the real line-up arrives.

The 8 x 10

One desk, one chair, one window

The smallest studio. A flat roof, cedar siding, a sliding window on the long wall, and a door with glass in it. It sits on ground screws, so no concrete and no permit in most yards. Built in the shop, delivered on a trailer, set in a day.

  • Ceiling8 ft 6 in
  • WindowOne sliding, 6 ft
  • SidingClear cedar or painted fir

The 10 x 12

The one most people pick

Room for a desk and a daybed, or a bench and a wall of tools. The window gets wider and a second one goes on the end wall if you want it. Same roof, same siding, same ground screws.

  • Footprint10 ft by 12 ft
  • Ceiling9 ft
  • WindowOne sliding, 8 ft; optional second
  • SidingClear cedar, painted fir or metal
  • Set timeOne to two days

The 12 x 16

A real second room

Big enough for two people to work, or for a bathroom rough-in. Built as two shop sections and joined on site. Roof, siding and windows to match the smaller two, so a yard with more than one of them reads as one set.
