Overview
Two Levels of Usable Space

The W400 WorkLoft is designed for owners who want more than a simple shed or single-level shop. The 30' × 50' footprint and 16' eave height provide generous floor area on the main level, while the 16' × 30' mezzanine adds a second tier of space that can be finished out over time as a storage loft, office, studio, gym, or lounge.

An 8' × 8' covered porch creates a shaded entry, outdoor work zone, or place to stage materials out of the weather. Openings can be re-positioned to align with your driveway, slab layout, and interior plan.
