Home Office
Our most popular small cottage design for its practicality and versatility. From a campground cabin, to backyard office, to luxurious storage shed, the open floorplan provides lots of room for customization. The porch provides a relaxing outdoor space to enjoy a sunrise or sunset.
The Home Office is a simple classic building. The open floor plan and quaint front porch make this design a great playhouse, pool house, guesthouse, workshop, cabana, artist studio, personal retreat, or office. The hearty 2x6 floor joists and ¾” CDX plywood decking provide ample support for a desk, couch, and plenty of chairs to make this the coziest home office. In the colder months, it is the perfect place to store all your lawn furniture and outdoor toys. Consider adding clear poly roof panels and additional windows for increased natural light or upgrade the siding and roofing to match your house or attain the perfect aesthetic for your small business. For a more rustic feel, make the porch posts skinned hemlock beams. Swap out the single door for double doors to allow for easier accessibility moving your storage items in and out.
Offered as frame only kits, complete pre-cut kits, 3- and 4-Season kits, or step-by-step plans nationwide, our outdoor post and beam cottage and tiny house 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. 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.
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.
