Imagine having your own private Writer’s Haven: a place to be alone with your thoughts. Just as Henry David Thoreau had his cabin on Walden Pond, you can have a sanctuary all your own. With the translucent roofing and abundance of windows, the natural light fills the room making it ideal for spending long days writing, reading, painting, or relaxing. Complete with a daybed, this little hide-away is a great place to take a summer siesta. Loads of barn sash windows and a partial Clearpoly roof brings in tons of sunshine, making an ideal workspace, regardless of your artistic pursuit. And the cottage itself emanates inspiration with its unique roofline. This whimsical writing shed could double as a storage space for any yard equipment, kids’ toys, or any of your other outdoor storage needs.
Choose Your Size & Type
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 Writer’s Haven 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 White Cedar Shingle siding paired with a Western Red Cedar Shingle Roof would enhance the modern look of this design.
• Add-Ons – Any of our weathervanes would look fantastic on this cottage. Install a flower box under each of the barn sash windows and install decorative wrought iron brackets to hold hanging flowerpots. Inside utilize peg-racks for hanging coats and bags. If you plan on using your Writer’s Haven as a backyard art studio, why not add some roof flashing for a wood stove too?
