Modern-Shed was born from builders and dreamers—idealists and pragmatic problem-solvers. We build intentionally crafted backyard studios, by connecting the dots between form and function. Our answer to living in a limited space lies a few steps outside your door, whether it's a home office tucked back by the garden, a guest room decorated with sunlight, a dedicated place of movement and meditation, or a studio meant for photography, writing, painting, or any interest that no longer suites the kitchen table. In our endeavor to create a thoughtful adjunct to your home, we bring in our cost-effective and design-friendly expertise, rather than opting for a costly renovation. We could all use a little more space to grow—let it be created specifically for you, a room of possibility and plenty.

What is a prefab studio?

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.
