Josie and her family live in a small bungalow style home in a highly desired neighborhood they love. Most of the homes in the neighborhood are on the small side and it would be very costly to sell and re-purchase a larger home in the same area. Since both her and her husband work from home now and plan to keep doing so, it became apparent they needed some more space!
There are two new items affecting backyard spaces. One is legal and the other is design.
To crane, stick frame or panelize? The backyard studio space has been growing as people find out they can build an additional small structure in their backyard to use for any number of things including mancaves, she-sheds, guest rooms, home offices, and art studios to name a few. Modern Shed started bringing this to light in the early 2000’s. The then owner and his wife, being architectural students, researched different ways to put an art studio/storage space in their backyard. They examined and compared stick frame construction to prefabricated buildings and came up with a better solution than both.
