The ‘Backyard Room’ Is the Best Lawn Ornament Ever Made

In the doghouse again? Nice.

As ex-Poetry magazine editor and former Guggenheim fellow Christian Wiman once opined that “nature poets can’t walk across the backyard without tripping over an epiphany.”

So if you install one of Australia-based Archiblox’s rooms in your yard, tell your inner nature poet to start worrying about toe stubs.

Because this thing is an epiphany through and through.

Made to order and built to last, the Backyard Room is a prefab dwelling that can be modified to fit almost any space and installed in under five days following a six-week design period.

Able to be outfitted with options like bookshelves, a kitchen, a bathroom and even a second floor, the Backyard Room can be used as a man cave, guest room, gym, studio or office.

Ranging in price from $14,800 to $105,000, all six of the BYR base models are “designed with environmental considerations at the forefront” and will only be built from eco-friendly materials.

If you can get ‘em to ship you one, it’ll really tie your yard together.
