Astoria 11 x 13 modern shed | 117 sq ft
Description
The SolidBuild® Astoria is the most visually striking shed in the modern lineup. A full glass facade — floor-to-ceiling double doors flanked by full-height windows — creates a front wall that's almost entirely glass, flooding the 117 sq ft interior with panoramic natural light. A functional double side window can be installed on either wall for cross-ventilation and additional lighting flexibility. Built from FSC-certified Norway Spruce, the Astoria is the definitive choice for a design-forward studio, she shed, home office, or backyard showpiece. In stock — ships within 3 weeks.
What makes the Astoria different from every other shed on the market?
The Astoria's defining feature is its front wall: floor-to-ceiling double doors span the full width, flanked by full-height glass panels. When you're inside, the front of the shed essentially disappears — you're surrounded by your garden, not enclosed from it. The effect is closer to a greenhouse studio or a pavilion than a traditional shed. The smooth milled Norway Spruce interior wraps the remaining three walls, creating a warm contrast with all that glass. The functional side double window, installable on either wall, lets you tune the light and airflow to your specific orientation and preference. At 117 sq ft with no interior framing to work around, the floor plan is entirely open and adaptable.
What can I use the Astoria 11×13 for?
The glass facade makes the Astoria the first choice for uses where the connection between interior and exterior matters most:
- Art or photography studio — maximum natural light, adjustable with the side window
- She shed or garden retreat — the glass front creates an immersive garden-facing experience
- Home office shed — the most design-forward backyard office in any SolidBuild lineup
- Yoga or wellness studio — floor-to-ceiling light and garden views enhance the practice
- Pool house or cabana — glass facade offers an uninterrupted view of the pool area
- Guest cabin or Airbnb — a genuinely memorable space that guests will photograph and share
- Reading room or library — natural light from floor to ceiling, wood-lined walls
- Garden room or entertaining space — opens fully to the garden for indoor-outdoor gatherings
What's included with the Astoria kit?
Included:
- Full-facade floor-to-ceiling double doors (dual-pane glass)
- Full-height front glass panels flanking the doors
- Double side window (dual-pane glass, installable on either side wall)
- T&G solid wood floor kit (pre-cut spruce + pressure-treated joists)
- T&G solid wood roof boards
- All fasteners, hardware, lock, and keys
- Assembly manual + downloadable blueprint
Not included: Foundation · roofing (flat roof systems, metal, rolled, or PVC — shingles not suitable) · exterior paint or stain.
Can I add power and use the Astoria year-round?
Yes. Run surface-mounted conduit along the solid wood side and rear walls using conduit clips secured to the T&G surface. Insulate the roof above the T&G boards and the floor between the joists from below for thermal comfort. Note that the glass facade naturally admits significant solar heat gain in summer and loses warmth in winter — factor this into your heating and shading choices.
How long does assembly take?
Assembly takes 8–20 hours with two adults and a power drill. All parts pre-cut and pre-drilled. Manual, blueprint, and video library included. Support at (800) 590-2508, ext. 1.
