At Backyard offices, studios and sheds we build with you something more than just a workspace we build a space for opportunity. We build backyard offices, studio spaces, bunkies for special guests, sheds and workshops, whatever you can imagine. Whether you are looking for a workspace away from the office, a hobby room, an art space, music studio, space to indulge your passion, a gym or pain cave, gaming room, a she shed, a tranquil retreat or somewhere that is special for you we are sure we can make spaces that will match your needs. We design and prefabricate our backyard offices, studios and sheds in Calgary and then assemble on site for customers in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and throughout AB, BC and SK.
Making beautiful backyard spaces
Let us work with you through the process of design, prefabrication, delivery and speedy onsite assembly to ensure you get the backyard office and studio you want. How you use it is only limited by your imagination.
How big is a Backyard Office or Garden Studio?
Generally having a footprint less than 10m2/107sq ft your backyard office does not need planning permit in most jurisdictions.
Of course if you need something a little larger just ask.
What does the design process look like?
We design with you what you want your backyard space to be. It normally then takes us 3 -8 weeks to source all the parts and make the sub assemblies. After that we need 3 days on site erect your new space.
Designed and Built to perform
Our buildings may be small, but a lot of thought has gone into them. We started by designing a performance building envelope and asked simple questions such as “how do we keep as much warmth in the structure as possible?”.
How are they made?
A Backyard Office, Studio or Shed (Workshop) is a purpose-built prefab structure that is built from a number of modular pieces. The modules are factory built to precise tolerances and when ready transported to your yard.
How are they erected on site?
Very simply, we start with getting a level base, then the floor ‘skid’ goes on top. Next up are the walls, then the roof, the windows and door. Now we can do finishing starting inside and lastly the outside.
