our story

projex design spaces

It all started with a vision—and a need. Lay was searching for the perfect detached studio for her growing interior design business. After an exhaustive hunt, big-box stores left her unimpressed. So, she turned to the person she trusted the most, her dad, Les.

Seamless integration with your property. No delivery limitations. The peace of mind that comes with being able to see the process unfold every step of the way!

We believe in transparency and accountability and that breeds trust. When "mom-and-pop" meets "father-daughter," you can't help but feel like family!

With decades of construction experience under his belt (and a knack for craftsmanship), Les built Lay a custom, climate-controlled backyard studio from the ground up. The result? A stunning, functional space that not only housed her inventory but became a showcase for her creative work.

When Lay shared photos of her new studio, the response was overwhelming. Friends and followers began asking: “Can I get one of those?”—whether for a she-shed, man cave, hobby haven, or remote workspace, it was clear: there was a growing demand for high-quality, turn-key backyard escapes.

That’s when the spark turned into a business idea.

Les, who had been working in tech sales for years, had always said that if the right moment came along, he’d dive into a venture built on passion and skill. When he was unexpectedly laid off, that moment arrived—and he got to work immediately, building a model studio to show off what they could offer.

Today, we proudly offer three beautifully crafted models—The Austin, The Carrol Lyn, and The Bryan—each designed to serve a range of needs and styles. Whether you’re an artist, remote worker, wellness coach, or simply someone who craves a quiet retreat close to home, we’re here to create your ideal space.
