Nearly 10 years ago we received an inquiry from Jay M. He was curious about our products and loved our modern designs. The client was growing his family and business and was ready to move his work space out of the confines of his house as space was becoming limited. He looked into the commercial property landscape, contemplating renting a small office to work from but didn’t want to commit to a long term expensive lease.
Jay's Urban Shed was designed to tie into an existing terraced landscape feature. The client desired to contrast his backyard office's appearance from his house as he wanted the office to remain an independent and unique space.
Although indoor meetings have not taken place since the pandemic, he jokes, “I've conducted meeting with 3 other people in the confines of my backyard office, and this work place has been pandemic proof long before public health guidelines”.
Fast forward about 10 years and the client contacts us again, but this time looking for a space for his university enrolled son to work in and grow his own small business. Knowing the success of his first backyard office it was easy for the dad to see the value of working from home and pass it along to his son.
Jay loves his commute, his work-family balance, and the freedoms his backyard office has given him.
