Finding a work-life balance in this brave new quarantine world isn't always easy. So we were excited to read "Your New Home Office May Be in the Backyard" in The New York Times. The article highlights the recent trend of building small home office sheds that are both affordable and attractive.

At Splinter Creek, most lots average 10 acres, making your backyard ideal for a tucked-away home office retreat in the woods.

Besides that, our building philosophy has always been to live lightly on the land, where homeowners are encouraged to create smaller dwellings that reflect their individual tastes while complementing the natural surroundings and overall character of the community.

We enjoyed these inspirational spaces and wanted to share them with you.
