How It's Built
Amish Crew Construction
Built by Amish crews in Topeka, Indiana, and Colon, Michigan, with no subcontractor handoff.
Lofted Interior Volume
The lofted design adds overhead storage or sleeping-space potential while keeping the same backyard footprint.
Extended Porch Design
The casita porch gives the building a more finished retreat feel and more usable covered outdoor space.
Pressure-Treated Foundation
Pressure-treated skids and durable floor framing support the added loft utility and outdoor placement.

40+ year lifespan under normal conditions with minimal upkeep.
Shingles
Architectural-grade asphalt in a wide range of colors to match your home.
Algae-resistant coating keeps the roof looking clean over time.

How It Gets There
Two Ways to Get Your Building
Mule Delivery
Our standard option. Your building is hand-built at the shop, loaded onto a truck, and placed on your site with our specialized Mule machine. The Mule fits through tight gates and around landscaping that most trucks can't, with minimal impact on your lawn.
- Standard for ~85% of customers
- Fits through gates and tricky access
- Placed and leveled professionally
Build On-Site
When your site can't accept a pre-built delivery, like wooded lots, no road access, or unusually tight spaces, our craftsmen bring the workshop to you and build your structure piece by piece. Adds a few weeks to the timeline.
- About 1 in 5 customers choose this option
- Built piece by piece on your property
- Same craftsmen, same materials
