Everything you need,
nothing you don’t.

Bathroom

The bathroom is an oasis for daily routines, thanks to a generous vanity, walk-in shower, combination washer and dryer, and space for supplies.

Bedroom

The bedroom has ample storage for long-term living. But it also makes a great recording studio, meditation den, or library.

Build an
income
stream

Backyard is the perfect rental because it was designed with a long-term occupant's needs in mind. Just add a tenant.

Backyard’s light and airy interior is designed to elevate your day-to-day, not to get in your way.

Tech Specs

Yours
for a lifetime.

Backyard is made with cutting-edge materials and processes that aren’t readily available to local builders. It's built to last with a precision-engineered steel frame that’s resistant to mold, rot, and termites. There’s less worry and less maintenance, now and in the future.

Fresh air, all
the time.

Fresh air, all the time.

Dust, pollen, wildfire smoke, and other pollutants litter the air, but don’t belong in our lungs. Backyard features an integrated, dual-process air purification system that both filters the air and zaps it with an ionizer three to four times every hour. That's a breath of fresh air.

A solar power
plant in your yard.

A solar power plant in your yard.

Backyard is fully electric and consumes less than half of the energy of an equivalently sized home. With the included solar array, it runs “net zero” by default and can even help you save on your monthly utility bill for your main home — all from clean solar energy generated right in your yard.¹
