Last updated on · ⓘ How we make our floor plans

A compact, cleverly conceived backyard studio. This 150 sq ft structure proves that good things do come in small packages. Designed as a standalone accessory dwelling unit or creative retreat, it packs a surprising amount of function into a very tight footprint.

The facade presents a crisp, modern farmhouse aesthetic. Vertical board-and-batten siding in bright white gives the exterior a clean, contemporary edge. Bold black window frames and matching French entry doors create sharp contrast and a confident curb appeal.
A warm wood accent panel crowns the entrance, offering just the right touch of warmth against the otherwise monochromatic palette. Generous fixed and transom-style windows flood the interior with light. The roofline is flat and minimal. No fuss, no frills. Finished with a dark parapet cap that keeps the silhouette razor-sharp.

Main Floor — 150 sq ft


One floor. One shot at getting the layout right. Spoiler: it works.
The plan measures 15 feet wide by 10 feet deep. Every square foot earns its keep. The layout is straightforward — an open living area anchors the front, with service spaces tucked efficiently along the rear.
Living Area — 75 sq ft: The largest zone in the plan, and rightly so. Spanning the full front of the structure, this space benefits directly from the French doors and flanking windows. Flexible enough to serve as a lounge, workspace, or sleeping area depending on your furniture choices.
Kitchenette — 41 sq ft: Positioned along the rear-left, this compact kitchen zone handles the essentials without pretending to be a full culinary suite. Enough room for a counter, a sink, and your favorite small appliances.
Bath — 35 sq ft: Tucked into the rear-right corner, this bathroom is small but complete. Toilet, sink, and shower fit neatly within the space — because when you only have 35 square feet, there is no room for hesitation or clutter.
We have more facade options of this design:
Forest Green Siding

The big switch is the forest green siding, and it completely remixes the facade. The vertical board-and-batten now feels richer and sharper, giving the small front elevation a moodier, more tailored look—like the studio put on a very stylish jacket.
That deeper green makes the black-framed windows, double glass doors, and slim metal awning pop with extra crispness. It also gives the simple shed roof and clean trim a stronger graphic edge, so the whole front reads more modern, more grounded, and just a little smug about it.
Urbane Bronze Siding

The biggest change is the new Urbane Bronze siding, and it completely recasts the facade. Spread across the vertical board-and-batten cladding, the deeper tone sharpens the lines of the compact studio and gives the front a calmer, more tailored attitude—less sweet cottage, more cool little modern box.
That darker skin makes the black-framed double doors, slim horizontal windows, and small metal awning look extra crisp. Even the single-slope roof feels sleeker now, while the warm wood under the canopy pops nicely and keeps the facade from becoming too moody—just a tiny bit dramatic, in a good way.
Front Green Living Wall

The big change is the front living wall, and it completely rewires the facade. Instead of reading as a simple white studio box, the upper front now becomes a lush planted panel packed with ferns, succulents, and trailing greens, turning the entry into a tiny jungle with excellent manners.
That new green layer plays sharply against the crisp white vertical cladding, black-framed windows, and dark double doors below. It also makes the slim entry canopy and narrow clerestory windows feel more sculpted, while the single-slope roofline stays clean and calm overhead—basically the house put on a botanical tuxedo.
Beige Stone Siding

The big switch is the new beige stone siding, and it completely remixes the facade. Instead of feeling plain, the exterior now has a warm, chunky texture that gives the little structure real presence—small footprint, big attitude.
That stone pairs neatly with the slim black roof edge, dark-framed windows, and black double doors, making the front elevation look sharper and more grounded. Even the small metal awning pops harder against the lighter wall, like the facade put on a crisp jacket and suddenly meant business.
Black Siding

The biggest change is the siding: it’s now black, and the whole facade suddenly looks moodier, sharper, and far more architectural. The vertical board-and-batten lines read stronger in the darker finish, giving the compact front elevation a taller, leaner stance—tiny house, big attitude.
That black skin also makes the facade details pop harder, especially the slim roof edge, the black-framed windows, and the centered double glass doors. The little entry canopy with its warm wood underside now stands out like a neat design wink, while the narrow horizontal windows and clean modern geometry feel even more crisp and deliberate.
