Cute Home Office is a Peaceful Backyard Working Retreat
When homeowners in Savannah, Georgia needed some additional space to add an office to their home, they knew they couldn't alter their historic house. Rather than renovating their home to add a room, they called ASUL to create a one-of-a-kind modular backyard addition.
This 320 square foot structure sits in an otherwise-unused corner of the couple's yard. It's composed of a 16' X 20' interior and an 8' X 20' cantilevered, covered deck.
Huge glazed windows on the north and south sides let in plenty of natural light to create a work environment that is at once stimulating and comfortable.
The little structure's arrangement on stilts makes it cute, but the higher elevation wasn't a conscious design choice. When conducting a feasibility study for the structure, ASUL found that the yard was within a FEMA-regulated flood zone.
Thanks to the modular nature of ASUL's structures, they were easily able to elevate the small home office. The elevation works well for the structure, giving it a fun, backyard-fort type feeling.
