The Sixteen pod has quickly become our best-selling mini office, and it’s easy to see why: it delivers without compromise.
Unlike a room inside your home, a dedicated backyard studio offers a peaceful environment, free from family distractions and away from the temptations of a leisurely mindset. With exceptional acoustics and no interruptions, it’s a place to focus.
A short walk across your yard provides the mental separation you need to shift into a productive mindset, all while keeping the benefits of working from home—just not in your home.
But here’s the thing…
The best ideas emerge quietly, gently, and often start fragile. Privacy and solitude foster deeper work, allowing you to be truly productive and creative, which is different from simply feeling busy. Uninterrupted hours lead to high-quality work. Success thrives on focus.
Here’s what we propose:
Step away from everyday distractions.
Embrace a calm, undisturbed environment.
Choose to stay focused.
Adopt a backyard state of mind.
Key Features:
Double-glazed, energy-efficient sliding doors and windows.
12 power outlets, including one exterior outlet and 4 USB ports.
Fully insulated with weatherproof metal cladding and roof.
Maintenance-free cladding options.
Smart heater included, with optional AC.
Waterproof and scratch-resistant flooring.
Full acoustic treatment: QuietWall and foam ceiling panels.
Electrical setup with 6 Smart LED spotlights and an exterior aluminum LED sconce.
Mini-O did an outstanding job!! Tom frequently stayed in touch letting me know how the process was going during the build. He continued to stay in touch after delivery to make sure everything was still going well. I highly recommend Mini-O for your small office, man cave or whatever extra space you’re looking for.
Absolutely pleased with my backyard office. Tom and team were incredible! From working in customizations on the blueprints to coordinating the (fantastic) local contractors, everything was a very professional and enjoyable process. Highly recommend Mini-O especially in California, where they can fit in the regulations to not require time consumer processes.
We worked with Mini-O to purchase four pods (two twelves and two sixteens) to be used as meeting and counseling spaces for our church property. From inception to delivery (and after) - Mini-O has been phenomenal to work with. They offered customizations for what we needed, were consistent in communication, the pods themselves are high quality. We are very pleased with our campus addition and grateful for the expertise of Mini-O!
My experience with Mini-O has been fantastic. Delivered last year, I have thoroughly enjoyed my new space and the support they have provided. The unit has been solid and the team was communicative and gracious throughout. I spend a solid M-F, 9-5 workday in the unit and find it very comfortable. Completing the area, I built a small deck around it to give the area more versatility. I made some slight modifications in the way of window screens, curtains, and an awning. After experiencing all 4 seasons in it, I'm remain pleased with its overall quality and features.
After a lot of research, including building myself and looking at cheaper options, I settled on the sixteen by mini-o. The staff were excellent to deal with. I thought there was no way they could get the unit on to my property but they sourced an excellent crane company and negotiated an amazing price on my behalf. I can’t say enough good things about these guys.The guy who delivered the unit told me his company builds these units for Mini O and others. They are a bunch of Amish guys in Pennsylvania. I was delighted to hear this as the Amish have a fantastic reputation for wood work and the quality of the build shines throughHighly recommended, if you are on the fence, just do it!
