Loft Cube - $111,000.00 » The chic Loft Cube, while meant to be a temporary living structure, still needs the help of a contractor to put together. Most prefab building suppliers can help you with site preparation and installation services. You can also enlist a professional contractor with experience in prefab buildings. While there's a little more effort involved than plunking a trailer down in your backyard, the sleek and stylish design can't be beat.
MetroShed » If a garden shed is really more of what you're looking for, these prefab Metrosheds offer an easy-to-assemble alternative that can be quickly delivered to your house. Made of termite-resistant cedar, the customizable Metroshed options all provide insulated wall panels, aluminum sliding glass doors, ventilation shutters with bug screens, corrosion resistant hardware, and UV protected roofing.
Zip Cabin - $13,500.00 » Prefab buildings can cost less overall than a stick-built structure since the materials are bought in bulk. But when you're working with a good vendor, the manufacturing process still ensures a high level of quality control. The ZipCabin is made out of select grade solid timber treated to resist decay and insects. Galvanized steel brackets and bolts act as connecting tools, and the home sits upon composite foundation pads with a lifetime guarantee. I'd be perfectly content living in this 12' x 16' space (which, conveniently, is small enough to be permit-exempt in many areas).
Dual Office Studio » This unit is a great example of the modern style and flexibility of a prefab building. The Dual Office Studio is a great solution for someone working from home, with enough space for a workspace and a small living area. Since this is a panelized prefab, each factory-made part will be assembled into the structure on-site. Another style of prefab buildings are precut, which means they are almost fully constructed in a factory before being shipped out.
contemporary prefab studios by Decorated Shed Add to ideabook by Decorated Shed by Decorated Shed Garden Studio, Modern/Cube - GBP 19,995.00 » The Modern/Cube style from Decorated Shed doesn't look much different than a traditionally built studio. Developments in architecture — such as structural insulating panels, which can be precut and locked together — make the structures strong and the building process easy.
Sett Studio - $31,500.00 » The Sett Studio office is more like a prefab house, with a "water and ice shield roof membrane," drywall walls and Monotred flooring. A solar-powered version is in the works. You can add upgrades like air conditioning and heat, a built-in desk, stainless steel metal shingles and planter boxes. You can even add a deck.
WorkPod - GBP 9,950.00 » The Ecospace WorkPod is a relatively low-cost and practical backyard office that can be customized when you order. It has a swing-up window cover, which doubles as a sunshade when it's raised. You can choose from a variety of colors and for more money add shelves, a built-in desk and other customizations to suit what you need for your new office away — but not too far away — from home.
OfficePOD » The OfficePOD is a 7- by 7-foot prefab office with some innovative features. The office itself has outlets internally, and then a single electrical connector gets juice from the house. The walls reflect light from the ceiling. A built-in desk and wood-slat storage give you all the basics for a home office. Pricing depends upon customization options. Other types of PODs, including a MeetingPOD,
The Tetra Shed is a modular system for living and working that can be combined into clusters of up to six. One or two are perfect for a backyard office. When they become available later in 2012, you'll be able to customize the exterior with different colors and materials, including rubber, steel, zinc and copper.
Disguising the wall ovens and appliance cabinets became the primary objective for this kitchen's design. Genner created a 22-foot run of storage with a sliding-door system that can reveal or hide appliances. This cabinet contains the wall ovens, steamer and an appliance basket for smaller appliances. Would do this to hide cords.
