    I'm getting one built as a backyard office, should be here in a few weeks. Fully heated/cooled. It'll even have a tiny woodburning stove. Some renderings of the design:

    • would love to see pics of yours when you have itYakuZoku
    • contemplated this same thing. we opted to build a shop. Would love to hear your pros / cons of the experience.imbecile
    • Very cool!instrmntl
    • Is the fireplace to code, or are you going rogue? Looks great, btwGnash
    • Love this design. Nice one. Wanting to do something very similar at some point in the near future.bogue
    • Looks good, I hope it smells better than the shipping containers I've been inspot13
    • I'm super pumped about it. Once it's all set up I'll report back in this thread and post some real pics.letterhead
    • is this a prefab company? what do they charge ballpark?_niko
    • @_niko they build them in their own space and deliver them to site. This will set me back ~$55k. Cheaper than a house addition.letterhead
    • Is that cheaper than just building it out of wood?scarabin
    • Yes wood is super expensive these days. Containers are 2-4k used or 5k+ new.AQUTE
    • did you look on aliexpress or alibaba?AQUTE
    • what company did it?Hayoth
    • thanks Letterhead! good luck and share pics when complete!_niko
    • show offshapesalad
    • Nice...where is the toilet?utopian
    • WIll this be set on a concrete pad / foundation? Is it your responsibility to have that completed before delivery?imbecile
    • No toilet or running water, that would require more extensive permitting. The company installs the unit using diamond pier footings.letterhead

    • looks amazing! would love to have the same in our garden but we live in a conservation area so would have to settle for something a bit smaller ;)microkorg
    • i wanted one of these things soooo bad..
      but we went with a pool instead... now theres no room for something like that...
      pretty happy with the pool tho ;)
