240-Square-Foot Cottage-Style Backyard Studio for Office Use

240 sq ft · None bed · 0 bath · 1 story · 20' 0" wide × 17' 0" deep · Plans from $595

This compact backyard studio suits homeowners who need a dedicated place to work from home without adding a full-size house wing. Its cottage-style design pairs a 240-square-foot workspace with a covered front porch.

A centered entry sits beneath a decorative front gable, with exposed rafter tails extending over the 5-foot-deep porch. Cottage, country, and craftsman details give the small building a defined front-door presence.
Paired windows flank the door, bringing outdoor views into the office while keeping the main work area oriented toward the front.
The single-story plan provides 240 square feet of heated space, and 11-foot ceilings help the compact office feel open overhead.
The 100-square-foot front porch adds a sheltered place to step outside during the workday. No rear porch is included.
Foundation choices include a monolithic slab, slab, or crawl space. The plan also specifies 2x6 exterior walls.
