As our only building that comes with two natural rooms, the Heritage is versatile by design. The double doors provide accessibility for a lawn tractor or recreational vehicles, and the area with a single door can make an excellent workshop, garden shed, or studio space. It can even be modified to make a cozy tiny house.
This multiroom cottage design is not only aesthetically pleasing but is also an extremely adaptable space. The Heritage features a set of 5’ double doors on the gable end. The center partition, complete with an internal door, creates a separate space that can be used for anything your heart desires. Imagine a backyard bar where the shed doors open to accommodate friends and family. Or maybe a multi-room workshop space or art studio: the accessibility makes loading up equipment and supplies a breeze. The multiroom layout of this beauty renders it a natural choice for a guest house or tiny home.
Double doors coupled with a pressure treated ramp are attractive attributes if you are looking for a place to store equipment or small vehicles. The second room, which features a single door and windows can be given its own purpose and personality. Turn the Heritage into motorcycle storage with a den, his and hers workshops, or a home gym with an attached yoga studio. The foam board insulation, shiplap pine sheathing and exposed post and beam framing preserve the natural look and feel of the cottage, while affording you a four-season refuge.
Choose Your Size & TypeÂ
Start by choosing your size and preferred format. We offer complete shells, Three Season, and Four Season structures as pre-cut kits. Fully assembled builds are available to customers whose building sites are located within 300 miles of our factory. Pick from the following:
• Complete Shell – With this package you get everything needed to set up an uninsulated Love Nest shell. Floor system, wall and roof framing, siding, a metal roof, door, and windows come with this package. This option works well for basic storage or as a small livestock shelter.
• Three Season – For those who want to tighten up their building or get it ready to be insulated in the distant future. This package includes an insulated floor, wall and roof vapor barrier, and solid pine roof sheathing in addition to everything that comes with the shell.
• Four Season – Get comfort year-round with our fully insulated option. The floor and roof are insulated with fiberglass insulation and vapor barrier. The walls get rigid foam board insulation. The interior is finished off with shiplap pine ceiling and wall sheathing. Additionally, double pane windows and an insulated door are included.
Customize
Each type of building comes with default options that match our specifications. However, if you want to personalize your building, we have made that process a breeze. As you go through each step, you’ll be able to pick and choose which options you want.
• Strengthen – Some options are intended to boost the ruggedness of your already robust building. For example, you can increase the weight rating of your floor and roof. Treated floor systems are also ideal for geographical locations that are prone to damp ground. Western Red Cedar siding naturally repels many insects too.
• Personalize – If you want to style your building so that it blends in with your natural landscape, or match existing buildings on your property, we have a plethora of siding and roofing options. We think Western Red Cedar siding paired with a corrugated metal roof in Autumn Red would enhance the modern look of this design.
• Add-Ons – Any of our weathervanes would look fantastic on this shed. Install a flowerbox under the barn sash windows and install decorative wrought iron brackets to hold hanging flowerpots. Inside utilize peg-racks for storing shovels, rakes, and hoes. If you plan on using your Heritage as a micro cottage why not add some roof flashing for a woodstove too?

Hardware, millwork sheathing and DIY plans have been enclosed. Each piece is color coded and part numbered. The exact itemization of what is inserted can be found on the specifications tab of the website for each product page design.
What is the difference between a 3-Season and 4-Season Insulation package?
