Custom accessory buildings in Alberta and Yukon provide flexible space for storage, work, guests, and recreation. Pocket House designs and builds custom accessory buildings, including workshops, bunkhouses, studios, and storage structures, tailored to your property and intended use.

What is an accessory building?

An accessory building is a smaller, standalone structure built on your property to provide extra space for storage, work, guests, or recreational use. Pocket House can design an accessory building to suit your specific needs and site requirements. Accessory buildings can be customized for uses such as workshops, studios, bunkhouses, storage buildings, utility buildings, and other dedicated space that complement the primary use of a property.

Whether you need a workshop, bunkhouse, studio, shed, or flexible multi-use space, each accessory building is factory-built in a controlled construction environment, then delivered and installed by our team at Pocket House for a streamlined experience. Factory-built construction helps maintain consistent building standards while reducing the amount of on-site construction required during installation.
