Introduction
In this project, we'll explore several sustainable building materials and practices, creating a backyard building that fits nearly any need.Family Handyman
The inspiration for our backyard build stemmed from two ideas. First, we wanted to showcase some sustainable building materials and practices. Second was the transition to a “work-from-home” lifestyle that many folks started over the last few years, creating a need for home office space.
But this type of backyard building could suit many purposes. You could use it as a kids play room, a music or art studio, or just a place to hang out outside of your home.
Our building doesn’t have plumbing, only electricity, which greatly simplified the build and kept the cost down. Because of the small space and excellent insulation, you could probably heat it with an incandescent light bulb.
