Backyard Office Space: Creating Calm from the Everyday Chaos
Backyard Office Space:
Sometimes all it takes is a little distance to create the calm in the midst of the chaos of every day life and that is exactly what our client did.
Just feet from his backdoor, and tucked away in the tranquil backyard of his North Vancouver property stands this 8′ x 12′ Lifestyle Outbuilding Backyard office space.

Fungus Fest: When a job goes bad!
Cute Shed – Big Fungus Issue
When a job goes BAD! Modern-Shed Steps UP!
Here is a cute little Modern-Shed Backyard Office we built in the fall of 2012 in North Vancouver.
We worked with the client to pick the right location in their yard, the right paint colour, siding type, deck configuration, you name it! And when the project was complete the client was ecstatic with the end result. It was the way every job should go đ
But and a big BUT⌠Not every project goes exactly as planned.
This North Vancouver Shed is located on a heavily treed lot that rarely sees the full light of day. Within a couple of weeks of the installation being complete, the client started to notice a black fungus / mold growing on the underside of the roof on the exterior of the shed.

The Problem: This client had long been embarrassed by the look of his old metal shed. That said he was hard pressed to install your typical âBig Box Storeâ style backyard shed or a flimsy “Cedar Shed”. His new North Vancouver Shed had to be one that was architecturally designed to match the scope & scale of his Westcoast style home.
Leave it to a backed up sewer line to force his hand. Cleaning of the plugged pipe led to the removal of the fence which sheltered the old metal garden shed. The metal garden shed was now plainly visible from the road. With the fence gone his rusty little secret was a secret no more.

Structure in breach of North Vancouver Shed Bylaws:
Bill Guest was enjoying the serenity of his Mount Seymour property from the back deck of a shed he built there three years ago. A judge has ruled the structure is a safety hazard and must come down.

A North Vancouver man who built a shed on a privately owned lot in the middle of the forest has been ordered by a B.C. Supreme Court justice to take it down.
Justice Gregory Fitch granted an injunction to the District of North Vancouver in December, saying Bill Guest’s 10-by-10-foot shed didn’t comply with local bylaws, which essentially banned any construction on the land.
But following the ruling, Guest said he’s not giving up. Instead, he’s working on a design for a larger home with a sprinkler system and is still hopeful the district will allow him to build it.
