Builder’s Blueprint is an awesome YouTube channel where this man DIYs all kinds of amazing things, including these mini campers for two homeless people in their area. But last month, he tackled something much bigger—a backyard gym tiny house!
The original plan was to use the space as a short-term rental, but since the city refused them, they pivoted and created a home gym complete with a massive Major Fitness Gym set-up. You can watch the entire process, from cement blocks to finishing touches, in the video below!

If you haven’t yet gone full-on tiny, a tiny backyard office is a great place to start!
Blake sent us pictures of his self-designed and built backyard studio complete with an in-floor garden. As a plant-lover, this made my day. The tiny cube was made from mostly-salvaged materials and has enough windows to let in plenty of light. All you need is a desk and a mini-fridge and it’d be the perfect spot to write a novel breathing in that fresh oxygen!
Read what Blake has to say about it below.

After newlyweds, Scott and Tania, traveled to Asia for their honeymoon they returned to Vancouver, Canada to build their ‘pint-sized’ house. This 485 sq. ft. cottage is their home that was built in Tania’s parents backyard.
The rules in that particular area allow for small houses to be built in the alley way. Usually as guest houses or home offices, etc. This home has a very open living and dining room combined together with the kitchen right along side too. I love the upstairs bedroom with the exposed ceiling beams, sky lights and the balcony patio.
Would this size house work for you?

This 10′ x 12′ Studio Shed is used as a backyard office by a father who now telecommutes to work (works his job from home).
So he set out to design and build his own office in his own backyard with the help of the people at Studio Shed.
The design you are looking at is the 10×12 Lifestyle Model. It has a corrugated steel roof, metal siding, windows, french doors, and a completely finished interior.
The structure is 200 feet away from his off grid home with its solar and wind power systems. Plus there’s a generator on site for backup. All of this easily powers his new office. Pretty cool, right?
Please enjoy and re-share this awesome off grid office shed/cabin below. Thank you.

I love when our readers share what they’re doing to make tiny houses in their own way and this tiny backyard hobby house is one of them.
They’ve been collecting unwanted windows that would have otherwise just been thrown away. And once they had enough of them…
They built this tiny little house in the backyard. I like to call it a tiny hobby house. But it’s also very much like a micro greenhouse, too. Our hope is that it might inspire you to use old windows too!
One of my favorite parts about it are the real trees and plants that are able to grow inside and how they included space to plant them as part of the design. Pretty cool, right? I hope you enjoy below and if you want to feel free to re-share and inspire others to possibly do the same.
