2 min readWorking from home offers plenty of benefits, like time to do your laundry in-between meetings, stepping away to pick up the kids from daycare down the block, or squeezing in an afternoon workout during your lunch break. However, when your “office” is also where you sleep, eat, and recharge, your home can start to feel less zen. If you have the outdoor space to expand, we highly suggest building a home office just a few steps from your backyard door. Enter “Costco's Sunjoy Esquire Beyond Shed,” which allows you to separate your work life from your home life.
At 10 feet by 12.5 feet, this “boardroom” shed, as we’re calling it, provides just enough room for a desk, chair, and bookshelf. We've covered all kinds of Costco sheds, but this is one of the most office-like options. It comes with back porch-style lockable French doors and built-in blinds. The double-pane windows are energy efficient and have their own window screens. Plus, it's fully decked out.
Paint, shingles, insulation, and woodgrain flooring are all included. You can even make this shed as high-tech as you need. The included mounting panel and access ports can accommodate everything from a flat-screen TV to a mini air conditioner. Did we mention it also ships for free?
You will have to build it yourself, but according to reviewers, it's a pretty easy weekend project. "It's pretty cool that the panels are interchangeable so you can customize the layout to your needs, or to maximize the natural sunlight as we did," one reviewer wrote. "Overall, a really good buy that looks fantastic and creates a whole new outdoor extension to our home."

Though you could set up your dream home office pretty easily, the space is also fit for a home gym, a backyard hangout for older kids, a she shed, or a gaming room. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) like the Sunjoy Esquire shed are a great way to add value to your home. If you're ready to take the plunge, try any of our favorites above and build your own personal escape right at home.
