Backyard Studio and Guest Barns

A small barn with a big payoff: a music studio, home office, guest house or she-shed that feels like part of the property.

In Music City, a backyard building can be a recording studio, a songwriting room, a rehearsal space, a home office or a guest house. Small barn-style buildings are quick to build, charming to look at and surprisingly versatile.

We insulate, wire and finish these buildings for comfort and quiet, with attention to sound where needed. Windows, doors, a porch and landscaping make the little barn feel like part of the home, and we can add a bathroom or kitchenette when your plans and permits allow.
