The challenges range from finding time in a busy parent's schedule to using technology to actual physical location for learning/teaching. Just as having a separate structure steps away from the home is ideal for a home office or gym so could be true for a teaching/learning/school room; Particularly for kids older than 8 or 9 who can be mostly independent.

Prefab backyard Art studio Shed

Being an artist requires a space that is inspirational, quiet, and the ability to get "messy" a lot of the time. A space that is free from distractions. Renting art studio space can be very expensive – not to mention you have to drive to it—and then maybe lose your inspiration! But a better place to do art and crafts is in a separate or dedicate space! What if that space was steps from your back door? A dedicated art space sure beats the kitchen-dining room table, cold garage, or the floor. Sacrificing a spare bedroom means cleaning up when guests arrive. Modern Shed customers have been utilizing Modern Shed's backyard studio sheds for crafting, art, photography, video and sound editing, painting, and music for almost a decade. Now that the "she shed" movement has taken a foothold; it has become even a more desired solution. Now that so many baby boomers are grandparents, organizing and creating photo albums for their kids and grandkids has become a large and fun undertaking but who wants to clean up the mess every day in order to serve food on the table. That is why Modern Sheds are ideal for being creative! Don't stop being creative to clean up-- just leave it for the next creative session. Customers use Modern Sheds for all kinds of creative endeavors; scrapbooking, painting, sculpting, photography, you name it, even welding and motorcycle maintenance. Why spend money on renting an artist's space. Let us help you design and create the perfect artist-craft-creative space with a Modern Shed of your own in your own in your backyard!

Said best by one of our customers about his commute and being a father: Charles didn't want to face a two-hour commute each day to get to the Seattle offices of the social media company where he works. "That's effectively four hours of my 3-year-old daughter's life," Charles notes. "Three years old is a pretty key age. When you think about it, four hours a day five days a week is 20 hours a week.

Practical, Prefabricated ADU/DADU

With the demand for more affordable housing up and down the west coast, calls for new legislation allowing ADUs/DADUs have been listened to. Legislation in all 3 states have made large steps in the allowance of Additional (attached and Detached) Dwelling Units. There is much information regarding ADUs and DADUs at accessorydwellingstrategies.com. DADU homes are dwelling (small home) units sitting on the same property as a main home, but a separate detached building. The term ADU encompasses both detached and home additions or space conversion to accommodate a separate living space from the main home.

Modern Shed built its first dwelling unit in Port Townsend, WA in 2006 as a study in how to live in smaller spaces and to see how big a Modern Shed could be without sacrificing the style and functionality of its smaller back yard sheds.

Since then, Modern Shed has several customers who have prefab dwellings used as primary homes, rental units, vacation homes and detached dwelling units. The latter used for aging in place parents, stay at home college students, short term rental units and long-term rental units. The process of designing, fabricating, permitting, and installing a Modern Shed as a DADU has some similarities to a backyard studio, but is considerably more involved due to the nature of it being an inhabited "home". Building permits are required for these units within most building jurisdictions thereby requiring all the items necessary for acquiring a building permit for a typical residential home, even though it may be 25% of the size of a home. Permit plan drawings, engineering, site plans, electrical plans, plumbing plans and in many cases a Geotech study (soils study) are all required. These items can take considerable time and money, so it is important to have a thoroughly planned budget before beginning.

Practical, Prefabricated Garden Home Gym

Once a place to blow off steam, get strong, burn calories, lose weight, and socially interact, going to "the gym" has taken a scary turn due to fears and realities surrounding COVID-19. Now more than ever, people are exploring safer options such as working out at home. However, many people just do not have the space to convert or use as a gym. Particularly with the sounds and smells that come from working out. Therefore, utilizing a Modern Shed as a home gym shed is absolutely the perfect solution. Whether in your backyard or garden, no more commuting to the gym, no more showering at the gym, no more worrying about who has touched what. Only steps away from your home is your own workout sanctuary, whether it be free weights, cardio equipment, yoga mats or new systems like Tonal or The Mirror, you can make it what YOU want it to be. A Modern Shed backyard gym shed or garden set home gym is the perfect solution for working out at home. Modern Shed floor systems are built so strong there is no worry about the weight of your equipment. With roof high transom glass windows, natural light abounds even if your walls are mirrors instead of windows. We can even make the building taller to better accommodate equipment like stair climbers! Look no further than Modern Shed for the perfect home gym or workout space.

Prefab backyard guest Shed

A prefabricated studio can be a dream come true and a solution to your need for a additional guest space. With a backyard guest studio guests can have a private detached space. Modern Shed can provide a streamlined, beautiful, and very affordable addition to your home that is not an expensive home addition at all. Rather than sacrificing space in your home, or doing an expensive addition or home remodel, our prefab studios can be designed to meet your exact needs and are carefully designed and crafted to both create your backyard guest studio, and add value to your home. Adding a prefab studio guest house is easier than you think if kept under the maximum allowed square footage without a permit. Sometimes it is even possible to put in a small bathroom. Consider a composting toilet to make things a bit easier. Modern Shed is also Green! We make smart decisions about materials and our backyard guest studios are made to be efficient and ecologically friendly. We can help you from outgrowing your current home by providing you with a backyard guest studio, keeping families together and helping you meet ever changing needs. When your guest room is not being used by a visitor, it can be used as the perfect home office. Some cities such as Portland, OR allow a "detached" bedroom with a fairly simple and straight forward permitting procedure.
