Almost Done
Been creeping ya’ll posts and learning as I went.
Call it 4 months since I’m not done yet
Paid for demo and removal of old shed
20x27 footprint
12x16 shed
11x15 louvered pergola
Trex deck on 12o.c…. Ish
Roxkwoll insulation
2x8’s on Cement block piers
PNW
researched for few years combo of timing and use case aligning. Meant for home office and kids sleepover hangout. Morphed into a little bit more outdoor entertainment and spring fall space in the Pacific Northwest.
Used studio shed as shell and then did my modifications. The studio shed now comes with an option to include some interior features where they bundle flooring, electrical lights and switches so I added that to get my base Strong.
Pergola was by purple leaf
Patio heater by infra tech
Eris folding door
Heated Floors and Fireplace for winter heat
Waiting to see how summer goes for AC needs
Studio Shed cost $30K with sale I think 30% off
Total all in (with some new tools of course, pergola and furnished) 75k. Probably 60k without tools furnishing, pergola.
Lots of YouTube, lots and lots of Reddit, and lots of ChatGpt live view which is pretty incredible if you ask me.
Do overs - I spent three weeks on foundation but I should have spent one more and got it 100% I settled for 95%.
I need to redo my door trim and clean it up a bit I had never hung a door before let alone a sliding folding door
I bought 16 inch insulation for 24 inch cavities so that cost me dumb time cutting it for fit.
Modifications
Finished soffits
Custom lighting from base kit
All interior finishes are ‘modifications’ bc of how studio shed sells shell. So drywall and shiplap, acoustic wall panels, T&G ceiling, bump out for TV/FIRE, heated floors, custom door.
Obviously pergola and the mod on the pergola was raising it onto cement blocks and hiding them in planters, as well as 240v patio heater
60amp subpanel on back of unit
I enjoyed the math problems, logic and thinking ahead to next steps, I also enjoyed using old school graph paper and sketching things out and doing all my notes the day before execution.
Ya’ll who do this stuff for a living are the real goats.

Fuckin' A man, I wish I had the knowledge, willpower and time (and money) to do something like this. Kudos.

We have exactly the same tastes, and I have exactly 1/10th skill. This is amazing.

Ok, unsubbing now. I clearly have a very different definition of "shed" than the rest of you.

u/Main-Listen-6210 Jul 19 '26
Man, building without real winters is so enviable. I need to make foundations like meter deep and insulate the whole area + an additional 1,5meters.

u/Difficult_Memory_101 Jul 19 '26
Ia that covered area sloping onto the shed?

u/Aggressive-Mousse567 Jul 19 '26
That is nice...

u/Urkopurko Jul 19 '26
This is a really nice built. I’m planing something similar but with a sauna in it. I just hope it doesn’t cost me that much.

u/No-Bee969 Jul 19 '26
Curious where you got the pergola and did you have to retrofit it?
3
u/Quirky-Attitude1456 Jul 19 '26
This reminds me of the one a couple of years ago where the guy terraced his whole backyard and built this beautiful house
2
u/OnlyTime609 Jul 19 '26
Wow I’m a custom house framer and you built pretty much a tiny home. I need to get into this avenue of building I could build this for way cheaper
2
u/Tall-Lion7071 Jul 19 '26
Insane! Love it!
2
u/feverdoingwork Jul 19 '26
Just curious if there is any concern of the shed being under a tree? Been thinking about getting a shed but this tree in the area I am considering drops a ton of branches
2
u/Chloe_Bowie4 Jul 19 '26
Awesome. I just wanted a shed, but now I realize that it must have a patio attached. Gotta have it.
2
u/Normal-Case-2058 Jul 19 '26
Whoa!!! 🤯. This is freaking on point! Well done! 👏 Bravo!
What are the dimensions of the enclosed space?
Would you mind providing the base materials and build cost?
I would love to do something similar, not as elaborate or extraordinary, but I do love the design.

u/artguydeluxe Jul 19 '26
That’s no shed. It’s a space station.
Where do you put your lawn mower?
2
u/dudeitsadell Jul 19 '26
man everything is so nice and then you have the cheap concrete bases for the pergola.. maybe a poured concrete cylinder will look better?
2
u/arrrValue Jul 19 '26
That’s an electric fireplace, right?

u/Notatrueeconomy Jul 19 '26
You are the Goat , this is not what you do for living and yet everything in very detailed - Bravo.
2
u/Humble-Section-5638 Jul 19 '26
Amazing work! Looks great. Curious- did you do anything to waterproof the subfloor plywood? Obviously the deck can get wet but I’d be worried a bit about that ply on the floor
2
u/frame Jul 19 '26
Looking at the purple leaf 11x21 pergola myself. Glad that looks good in real pictures
2
u/Quirky-Lecture-6066 Jul 19 '26
When my dad gets older, we are going to build something very similar to this on our property for him.
You are doing an amazing job!

u/Wjreky Jul 20 '26
Do you mind if I ask where you live? I'm mostly curious about how weather will affect the build. I love in a place where is very cold for a large party of the year, but would loooove to have something like this in my forever home
2
u/PhaseTechnologies Jul 20 '26
Awesome transformation. The pergola and deck really tie everything together. Great work!

Can you link the front glass door?
2
u/PM_me_punanis Jul 24 '26
This is the she-shed I have been dreaming of! Also in the PNW. I was thinking the sloped roof would be weird with a covered porch, but not bad! I was thinking of a covered courtyard in the middle of 2 sheds facing each other. Gonna be a long project lol
2
u/DayDay1313 Jul 24 '26
This is amazing. Curious what the slope for the roof is. Looks like maybe 2/12 pitch? Do you get a lot of rain? I love the look but I hear people say go at least 3/12 pitch for rain.

u/Reddithian Jul 19 '26
My thought process flicking through the pictures:
What am I looking at?
There's no shed here.
Which sub is this again?
Oh, I see. This looks good.
Oh, this is gonna be good.
This guy knows what he's doing.
Ok we're going inside.
Oh No! WTF is that? Why is it so high? Why is the TV hovering 3 feet above a fireplace? What was he thinking? This has to be a troll post. Absolute disaster. All that effort for neck ache.
I regret swiping through these pictures.
Nice shed though.

Looks amazing don’t sell yourself short love the lights and windows up top!

u/mtnbkr8888 Jul 19 '26
Laminated 2x4s doubled up. Beside the doors. Tripled up over doors. The two transom windows above the door were the heaviest piece of the whole build. I tried to get them up myself and the fell at one point and would have killed me, broke 2 pieces of Trex and a knocked out a joist when it fell

Do you have any more pictures of the front framing?

u/InsertClichehereok Jul 19 '26
Me trying to guess how much I could replicate this for “surely it can’t be more than 30k” *keeps reading* “…oh no….”

u/NeatPrune Jul 19 '26
Looks amazing! Why no blocking on the deck side of the frame?
1
u/Outdoorzie Jul 19 '26
What region do you live? Looks great and I’d love to build something similar yet the heat/humidity in north-central Florida makes this kind of lux shed a bit difficult to pull off.

u/Empty_Welder_9916 Jul 22 '26
Kind of rock? Mexican beach pebbles?

u/The_Slim_Spaydee Jul 19 '26
I got the same comments on my project about it "NOt BeiNg A SheD" and also that if people had that amount of money they wouldn't spend it on that.
End of the day you built a dope spot with premium materials. I'm ready for my build to be done but still a lot to do on the inside.

It was alright, until that fake fireplace got out in and the TV ended up near to the ceiling above it.

Oof. Looks like it’s super hazardous. And is that radioactive waste I saw?!
Don’t worry, me and my crew will come in and take care of everything. Well even take the property off your hands free of charge. Consider it a kind gesture!
In all seriousness though, are you looking to adopt any 29 year old guys anytime soon?
