The view from the mezzanine to the main floor. Sound-absorbing plasterboards on the ceiling modulate the acoustics in the home. “I also like how we used the sound-absorbing ceiling in this project," says Elklund.

Out in rural Oregon, a she shed was constructed almost entirely of old multi-pane windows that the owner was able to reuse from local construction projects. Since cross-ventilation was a priority, more than two-thirds of the windows can be opened.

In Avalon, Australia, Olaf von Sperl and Cindy Goode Milman designed a she shed for the corner of Milman's backyard with $15,500.

With a roof of translucent polycarbonate panels topped with a planted green roof, this she shed is one-of-a-kind.

In San Luis Obispo, California, this rustic she shed was constructed in less than three months and was heavily inspired by the existing buildings on the owner's vast property. Doubling as a guest bedroom and the owner's own retreat, a delicate color palette of pale green and white contrasts with the live-edge pine siding on the exterior, which was repurposed from a felled tree on the property.
