Xylia
This unique post and beam cottage is the perfect design to fulfill your tiny house dreams. It would make a delightful workshop, potting shed or studio. Upgrade to the four-season package to create a year-round retreat to escape the chaos and rejuvenate your soul.
The word “Xylia” is Greek, meaning “of the woods.” This picturesque design would look great just about anywhere, especially surrounded by nature. The Xylia (zee-lee-ah) comes standard with five windows and a single door making it the perfect candidate for a tiny-house, cottage, playhouse, or backyard storage space. Add a set of double doors to increase storage potential or add an insulation package to make it livable year-round. This “of the woods” design is elegant and classic with lots of potential. The Xylia comes standard with a Vermont made hand blown stained-glass roundel that adds to the whimsical nature of this storage shed or studio.
Offered as a frame only kit, complete pre-cut kit, 3- and 4-Season kit, or step-by-step plans nationwide, our outdoor post and beam cottage and shed solutions give you the extra room you need for convenient and orderly storage or a corner garden office. If you live within our Northeast delivery area, consider purchasing a design fully assembled and delivered to your prepared site. Keep your lawn furniture, kids’ toys, and bicycles within easy reach in summer, yet safely tucked away during the winter. Maintain a stockpile of household supplies or a stash of non-perishable foods to cut down on shopping trips or create the perfectly quiet nook to read while enjoying a breeze through the windows. The perfect back yard getaway for artists, woodworkers, bookworms, or your lawn mower!
Storage Shed, Playhouse, or Craft Studio? You decide. A large shed can also serve dual purposes, becoming a combined storage shed and workspace for hobbies such as woodworking, pottery or jewelry making. Even a cozy cottage has plenty of room for a reading space alongside essential garden tools, buckets, and other accessories.
