由于家中空间狭小，且因远程办公和幼儿在家需要独立工作空间，波特兰的一名居民决定在自家后院建造一间独立办公室 1。在方案选择上，该居民放弃了购买新房或预制办公舱的计划，其曾考虑的Autonomous.ai预制办公舱基础价为1.65万美元，加上运费、组装和空调后接近3万美元 1。最终，其选择购买尺寸为8英尺×10英尺的Tuff Shed Premier Pro Tall Ranch棚屋进行改造 1。
在施工过程中，该居民自行规划并雇佣小型承包商完成了地基、隔热和地板等工程 1。在电力方面，雇佣电工从主电箱拉60安培电力至棚屋，安装了4个插座、LED灯以及迷你分体式空调的断电装置 1。此外，该居民自行从Home Depot购买并安装窗户，节省了约700美元，并耗时约5小时安装了Daikin迷你分体式空调系统 1。根据波特兰当地规定，该尺寸的建筑物无需建筑许可，但需要电力许可 1。通过自行规划与部分施工，整个项目的总花费控制在2万美元以内，若聘请ADU公司全包则需4万至5万美元 1。
A homeowner in Portland recently constructed a standalone backyard office to accommodate remote work and care for a toddler, as their existing house lacked sufficient space 1. Initially, the author considered purchasing a prefabricated office pod from Autonomous.ai, which had a base price of $16,500 but would cost nearly $30,000 after adding shipping, assembly, and air conditioning 1. Ultimately, they opted for an 8-by-10-foot Premier Pro Tall Ranch shed from Tuff Shed to serve as the foundation for the project 1.
To manage expenses, the author took on several tasks independently, including purchasing and installing windows from Home Depot, which saved approximately $700, and setting up a Daikin mini-split air conditioning system that took about five hours to complete 1. For the electrical work, an electrician was hired to run a 60-amp service from the main panel to the shed, installing four outlets, LED lighting, and a dedicated disconnect for the mini-split unit 1. The entire build was completed for under $20,000, a significant saving compared to the $40,000 to $50,000 it would have cost to hire an ADU company for a turnkey solution 1. Regarding local regulations, Portland does not require a building permit for a structure of this size, though an electrical permit was necessary for the power installation 1.
