Finally - a backyard office your wife approves of

Finally - a backyard office your wife approves of

Summer's here. Kids home. You want a backyard office. She wants her space back and something beautiful in the yard (not a storage shed).

This solves it: https://www.autonomous.ai/adus/autonomous-work-pod

  • No more work calls bleeding into dinner
  • Stays cool in summer. HVAC + insulation keeps it comfortable while you work
  • This looks good. Wood interior, modern lines, glass walls with views
  • No renovation nightmare. 2-day install, NO PERMIT in most US cities

Show her this photo. Let me know what questions come up. I'm rooting for you!

Before & After

we shipped a backyard office install last week and the timing felt right to share. summer is the best season for these, yk dry ground, no rain delays, everything goes faster.

it was an Autonomous Workpod Pro. no bathroom or plumbing, just a small wfh setup. this stayed under 120 sqft so you don't have to deal with city permits. adjustable feet instead of a full slab, took about a day end to end.

anyone else setting up a backyard office pod this summer? would love to see what you're building. happy to answer questions too.

Why we built Autonomous WorkPod under 120 sqft

A friend of ours gave up on building his own backyard office pod because the permit process took 6 months. So we kept WorkPod under the line - 120 sqft. Our entire backyard home office lineup sits between 80 and 105 sq ft. We sized it specifically to skip the hardest part of any backyard office build: the permit.

Having a prefab backyard office is now as easy as ordering an iPhone. We ship Friday, you work in your pod Monday.

Fully insulated, 2-day install, plug-and-play power, no concrete foundation.

If you're thinking about a backyard office shed, prefab work pod, home office shed, or WFH workspace anywhere in the US, drop your questions below.

Backyard cabin office install in LA - 105 sq ft, permit-free, no concrete

Not many homeowners know this, but a backyard structure under 120 sq ft can skip the permit in most US cities. We took a corner that had been collecting dust for years and turned it into a real home office.

Summer's a great time to build, and you finally get a space to hide from the kids!
