your
backyard.

Take pressure off the space in your house by creating something new right in your back yard.

MY ROLE:

Design
Build
The challange
Design and build a space that can be flexible enough to serve various purposes.

Key Factors

A space you want to spend time in, that is cheap and quick to build.

Make it your own

Change out the windows and doors, or choose a different siding and you can quickly go from a Japanese-inspired building to a modern one.

Connected to the outdoors

Given the relative size of the building, having windows and doors that connect it to the outdoors makes it feel much bigger inside.

Under 120 square feet

Most municipalities don’t require permits to build a freestanding structure under 120 square feet.

Repeatable template

Every stud, screw and joint is carefully thought out and designed so building it is quick and easy.

The Work

design process

From the foundation to the roof, we’ve thought through how each component interfaces with each other and intentionally designed so carpenters can focus on building.
