Modern Backyard Studio
An Innovative Approach
Modern or Modernist architecture is based upon new and innovative technologies of construction. The idea that form should follow function which in turn creates a minimalistic structure. Every part of the Modern backyard office studio design has its purpose, and every purpose solves a problem. We’ve designed sleek lines and use a cutting-edge modern style siding. 6’ tall windows are placed in the corners to allow full view of the outside and natural light into the structure but are small enough to offer privacy from different vantage points. There’s lots of room for furniture along the walls. The walk-up offers an extended front porch area that allows shade, privacy, or harbor from rain while entering the structure. We’ve accented this area with a vibrant color on Cedar that extends all the way to the front face. Our Modern backyard studio kit design incorporates simplistic design elements with a modern twist. We add an accent of rich wood color that helps soften the overall exterior look of the studio.
We use an engineered support beam as a welcoming accent to your studio. This ties the outside and inside wood together. We offer choices between Cedar or Pine, tongue and groove or shiplap, and 6” or 4” spacing on the vaulted ceiling finish.
To obtain the proper rain screen system, we offer an exterior trip that is a natural-colored extruded aluminum. Our backyard studio kit has cement board sliding and can be customized to your exact specifications. We can also easily mix siding, which allows you to save money on sides that are not visible. We ensure that all of our Modern backyard studios meet the stringent code requirements for energy standards.

Permit Drawings & Engineering
Our Modern prefab studio office kits are pre-engineered to your specifications. If you require a permit drawing and a stamped engineer for your jurisdiction, please let us know. Our professional engineers understand how to communicate with the appropriate departments about our prefabrication process. Engineering regulations on the West Coast are consistent, but rules differ in the Midwest and on the East Coast. That’s why we examine our projects and treat them as individual jobs. The cost of your permittable drawing and engineering package is based on the size of the studio and the type of drawing you require.
