He panicked—not because he was scared about being a dad but rather because he didn’t know where he was going to work. He had been working out of their modest East Cesar Chavez home, but that space would be taken up by the baby. He thought, What am I going to do? The answer: Install a freestanding, 96-square-foot studio in his yard that would serve as his office.  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio v

The unit, which was prefabricated and assembled on site in three days, features stylish wood siding burned using the Japanese shou-sugi-ban process, 8-foot sliding glass doors that allow tons of sunlight and a space-saving built-in desk.

If I want a shed, I’ll buy a shed. When people walk in the yard, they’re like, ‘Wow that’s freakin’ cool.’ It adds to the dimension of our home’s space. Sometimes I walk out the door and say, ‘Yes! I get to work in that today.’”  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio  Image Courtesy © Sett Studio
