Description
These 16×12 backyard office plans give you a modern garden office studio with 192 square feet of open workspace under a single-slope shed roof. A pair of glass doors opens onto a small 11′ x 3′ front deck, and a tall glass side wall fills the room with daylight.
The layout is one open 16′ x 12′ room, so you can set it up the way you work. There is space for a desk, a lounge chair and storage, with windows on three sides and the glass doors at the front. The deck is flanked by two planters, which makes the entry feel finished from day one.
The shed roof rises from 7′-10″ on the low side to 12′ on the high side, so the room feels taller than its size and the high wall carries a big glass window. Dark vertical siding and black-framed glass give it a clean modern look in any backyard. It sits on a concrete slab with simple framing, so it is easy to plan and quick to price.

Common Questions
What size is the 16×12 backyard office studio?
It is 192 sq ft in a 16′ x 12′ footprint, with one open room and an 11′ x 3′ front deck.
Does the office have a bathroom?
No. It is designed as one open workspace with no bathroom or kitchen, which keeps the build simple and often easier to permit as an accessory structure.

A 14-sheet PDF: cover page, floor plan, four elevations, building section, door and window schedule, roof plan, roof framing plan, foundation plan, electrical plan and details and an HVAC plan, plus a preliminary material list.
What foundation and roof does the office use?
A concrete slab-on-grade with thickened edges, and a single-slope shed roof that rises from 7′-10″ to 12′.
Can I use these plans to get a building permit?
The set includes the drawings most building departments ask for, but requirements differ by area. Some require site-specific changes or a local engineer’s review, so check with your building office before you build.
