The charred wood siding, inspired by the Japanese shou-sugi-ban method, comes in various stains, such as cherry (shown here). The blow-torching technique helps with resistance to insects, rot, water, mold and fire.

Sett Studio also does complete interior work. This unit features monotread, which are panels made from milled recycled wood, on the floor, walls and desk. Lately, the company has been using more bamboo.

Even in a small space—this unit is one of the company’s smallest—there’s plenty of room for a sitting area. In addition to montoread and charred wood, this space has American Clay walls, a soft plaster-like coat that when punctured or cracked, a spritz of water will allow minor flaws to be smoothed clean.

A breezeway or a pine deck, like this one built for Goodlife Realty group in Austin, can connect multiple units.

Sliding glass doors and galvanized metal siding are also available

Most units come with one interior light, one exterior light and two outlets. More can be added.
