Offices Are Sprouting in the Backyard<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

As remote working grows more common, homeowners are trying to carve out more space, indoors and out, for a dedicated home office. When space is tight or household noise is too loud, some homeowners are taking their office outside. The backyard home office is a growing trend, The New York Times<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n

Some homeowners are taking inspiration from the “man cave” and \u201cshe shed\u201d phenomenon of the last few years and putting up shed-style home offices. For example, the company Studio Shed offers prefabricated panels that can be shipped, built, and assembled in a backyard to create a 100-square-foot home office. James Wilson in Oakland, Calif., who works in finance, and his wife Meg Wilson, a nurse practitioner who engages in telehealth, used one to create a private backyard office. From the time they ordered it until their backyard office was complete spanned a little over four weeks at a cost of $31,000.<\/p>\n

Space-constrained homeowners are looking for solutions for a workspace. For some, it\u2019s even been motivation to move. A recent survey of real estate agents conducted by HomeLight<\/a>\u00a0says that a designated home office will likely be the most desirable or important feature to home buyers in a post-pandemic era.<\/p>\n

Homeowners who want to stay put are turning to their backyard to make space. Several companies are touting backyard solutions, like Kanga Room Systems (units start at about $5,000 for an 80-square-foot kit the buyer can assemble) and Modern Shed. These companies can ship standalone structures that can be assembled by homeowners to keep their home offices separated from their living spaces.<\/p>\n

Studio Shed officials say they\u2019ve doubled their sales over the last year. In April alone, their sales were four times it was a year prior. The company\u2019s units start at $10,000.<\/p>\n

The Modern Shed says they\u2019ve noticed their orders drastically increasing as well. \u201cWe\u2019ve always offered this very simple solution because you don\u2019t need to tear up an existing house and you can just add it to your backyard,\u201d Ryan Grey Smith, founder of Modern Shed, based in Seattle, told The New York Times<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s this little structure where you can feel like you\u2019re working miles away, even though you\u2019re only 30 feet away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
