We here at Inhabitat love micro structures, so when we caught a glimpse of Megan Lea's Backyard House, we were immediately enamored. Modern with right amount of rustic flavor, the striking home was built out of recycled barnboard with copper roofing. Featuring a raw finish with just a touch of color, the small space blends perfectly within Lea's lush and green garden.
Built from recycled barnboard with copper roofing, the home is inspired by everything from vines, to magazine editorials, to, most notably, Bernard Maybeck’s Mistake House from 1931. Inside, a wood stove keeps the home warm and cozy, and the small space even boasts a second floor loft accessible via a set of swirling stairs. The Backyard House is a year round hangout for family and friends, and gives way to extra space with ease.
