8×12 Tall Backyard Office

8×12 Modern-Shed Tall Backyard Office

Delta / Surrey Tall Backyard Office

Our client called us just weeks before the birth of their 3^rd child.

The decision was made, Dad (who was a computer programmer) had decided he would try to telecommute to work every day from a home-based office. This meant he would not be wasting nearly 2 hours a day commuting to and from the office, giving him more time at home to help his wife with the new addition to the family.

The challenge with the 3^rd child on the way there were no extra rooms he would work from other than the living room and that just wasn’t going to work.

But did I mention my clients was nearly 7 feet tall? What was the point in building a backyard office that didn’t embrace my client’s height? So the solution was clear, it was time to look at building a tall backyard office.

So we set out to build a Modern-Shed tall backyard office with a full 2 feet of additional headroom. We even sourced custom 7-foot tall French Doors so my client wouldn’t have to duck down going into his office.

This is one of the great things about a Modern-Shed we can customize pretty much anything you need.

Situated in the far South West corner of the property the location provide a little peace and quiet from the house but also posed another challenge. Running electrical to the Backyard Office meant digging a trench nearly 150’ long.

But with all its challenges I think you will agree the end result looks amazing.
