The New York Times real estate magazine Key takes a look at the movement with Modern-Shed founder Ryan Smith. The shed pictured is Office Outbuilding A shed by Modern Cabana. Check out Can’t Beat the Commute fore more.

These are beautiful.

Also -- who makes the coffee table(s)?

I wish they weren't so expensive! Or, I wish Home Depot sold modern ones that were the same price as their hideous ones ($600-1000). Modern shouldn't mean crazy expensive!

Go to ReadyMadeMag.com and buy the plans for your own! Its like $35 for the plans, but they tell you where to get what, where, etc. I'm sure you can customize it to your modern specifications

Speaking of ReadyMade, the new issue has a big feature on real-life modern/prefab sheds, including the total dollar amounts spent on each one.
