the haven
The WATERSHED Haven is a modern-style luxury shed. A perfect extension of your home.
The Haven is constructed using our unique Cross-laminated-timber panels. They allow for quick construction and uncompromising quality that will complement your home. Whether looking for much-needed recreational space, an inspiring studio for your hobbies, or a quiet and professional workplace, this 200 square foot building will get the job done in style.
Interior
The Haven has an open floorplan with walls made from European Spruce. The interior is bright and warm and requires no drywall or complicated interior finishes.
With vaulted ceilings and a generous window configuration, this luxury shed feels much larger than its footprint suggests and will evolve as your family's needs evolve.
Exterior
The Haven is site-built on a permanent foundation and will provide a lifetime of use and enjoyment. Because it's not transported to the site fully built, your luxury shed has steep roof pitches and generous overhangs to protect your exterior finish and cut down on maintenance over time. Exterior finishes are flexible, so you can be confident that The Haven will be a perfect companion to your home or other outbuildings.
Personalization
While all of our structures start out as a complete, high-quality building, you are welcome to modify things like window configuration and even the general building footprint. We'll work with you to ensure your backyard build is exactly what you need and omit services that you'd prefer to do yourself, with the exception being the structure and foundation itself.
Pricing
Starting at: $72,000
Energy efficient, waste conscious and safe
The Haven is made using Cross Laminated Timber Panels that offer simplicity without compromising on quality.
We've heard from many people who appreciate the simplicity of our buildings, which brings more confidence to them throughout the build process. We empower clients to participate in the build, should they choose to, in order to save on overall costs or to put their own personal touch on their luxury shed.
While we start at a base model configuration, you are only limited by your own imagination. Rest assured, Watershed will partner with you to bring your vision to life.
From battery powered lifts and tools, to dust and debris collection, Watershed prides itself on a clean job site, with minimal construction related waste.
All CLT panels are CNC cut off-site to exact specifications, routine magnet sweeps are made to account for any lost screws and fasteners, and great care is taken to provide safety gear and standards for our crews and subcontractors.
Watershed is licensed, bonded and insured, so clients can put the worries to rest and enjoy the process of watching your luxury shed come to life.
Innovative designs with a unique approach
There is no secret that engineering requirements throughout the US have become more and more stringent over time. We have experienced the design and engineering extremes from state to state, which inspired us to embrace a construction method that is a “one size fits most” approach to meeting these needs.
Watershed’s innovative design meets a varying number of snow and wind load requirements along with different ground conditions that often require special engineering without modifying each building. This cuts down on complexity, cost and time to construct. How do we do it?
We utilized Cross Laminated Timber panels for our construction. Strong, beautiful, quiet, used in many high-end residential and commercial builds, they allow for quick construction and uncompromising quality.
However, a home is only as good as the team that brings it to life. We practice a Continuous Improvement philosophy to ensure we are constantly innovating. Making clients, employees and vendors a part of our product and company development, we practice each day to find efficiencies, solve problems and invest in one another.
As stewards of our client’s investment and guest at their home throughout the duration of the build, we minimize our time on site, but add value when there. Our mantra is simple, “Look what we built today”, highlighting our commitment to making significant progress on your project each day.
