Looking at Ideas for a Grassless Backyard
-
Another little corner idea. Kid of a neat work space, but probably wouldn't fit or would have to be a part of the firepit area.
-
Something like this would be perfect for the other corner...
I'd prefer something larger but space is at a premium so even this would be massive in the yard.
-
This might actually work, too...

I personally prefer this one

Me too.

It's bigger though, so finding space for it is harder.

I like the design of it. Scale it a tad so that it fits in your yard.

I guess the real question is do you want it to be for relaxation when you work or relaxation when you aren't working

It's to be an office space. The larger one includes a small meeting space, which would be nice.

Both? That'd make an excellent reading room.

Yeah, although I do have one of those now, so not critical. And there will be outdoor reading space by the firepit, so not necessary to duplicate here. But it's an option.

This style could work too. I like the idea of a little garden or something on top.

"Hang on, honey, I gotta go mow the roof!"
or
"Call the gardener, the roof is overgrown again..."

Solar panels on the roof would be an interesting option.
-
@coliver Especially in Texas where there is loads and loads of sunlight. Great idea.
-
Even if the solar did nothing but power an AC unit all day, that would be enough.
-
Wondering how much solar paneling is, just the paneling itself. I'm assuming the labor is $100/hour as with most things.

Depending on the sqft of panels you may be able to just offset the AC unit costs a bit. I doubt it would pay for the entire thing.

I might be able to install myself. It's not a real roof or anything.
