Our Colorado Roots
Studio Home, formerly Studio Shed, is Colorado's Prefab ADU Builder
Studio Home was built on the foundation of Studio Shed, a Colorado-born company with deep roots in modern backyard structure design. What began as a leader in detached studios and backyard offices has grown into a full-service ADU builder, helping Colorado homeowners plan and build accessory dwelling units, casitas, carriage houses, mother-in-law suites, granny flats, tiny homes, and prefab backyard homes that add value to their properties.
Today, Studio Home has expanded into a broader residential offering for homeowners who need more usable space. Our Louisville showroom and manufacturing facility serves as the hub for ADU designs, ADU plans, andprefabhome consultations across Colorado's Front Range.

Studio Home offers a range of ADU designs, floor plans, and prefab home options for Colorado homeowners at different stages of the planning process.From a freestanding casita or carriage house to a dedicated in-law suite or modern shed-style studio, whether you are still asking “what is an ADU?”or are ready to review ADU plans and pricing, our team meets you where you are.
Designed for Colorado Backyards and Flexible Lifestyle Needs
Working with Studio Home means working with a Colorado-based ADU builder that understands local backyard constraints, Front Range ADU legislation, design tradeoffs, and the practical questions that come with adding a casita, carriage house, in-law suite, or other detached structure to an existing property.No matter your reasons for exploring prefab ADUs, Studio Home gives you expert guidance through every step of the ADU construction process.
Every aspect of this process was outstanding. I am a professional in the construction space with a focus on prefab. I had high expectations that were all exceeded. The design process is great, and the installation process was first rate. RJ's communication was outstanding, thorough, and proactive. The Studio Home design was not only as advertised but unexpectedly quiet which is ideal for a backyard office.

"I can't recommend Studio Home enough! The contractors they used were incredibly easy to work with and very professional. I moved out of my office space that I had been in for 21 years. They poured the concrete on a Thursday, and my new office was entirely finished by the following Thursday. I absolutely LOVE it!!!"
— Jenny H., Denver, Colorado
We purchased our Studio Home in 2018 and couldn't be happier with it. The Studio Home team is professional, helpful and even willing to assist with follow up questions 4+ years post purchase. The installer they recommended was spectacular. Five star service from start to finish and a beautiful end product!
