What was the price per sq foot to build this structure?

8 years ago

We are in the process of purchasing a home and plan to add an art studio along with additional living space - approx 800 sq. feet. The new structure will be separated from the main house by outdoor living space and decking.

I'm not sure that my cost to build this is going to be relevant to your project at all. I was the contractor, designer and client on this and I was able to pool my resources to build it for a value.

Also, this home was built to 160mph wind standards including impact resistant windows and doors.

Plus, our area of Florida is extraordinarily expensive to build in comparatively.

Generally, I'd suggest a budget of $175-$250/sqft is adequate to build something like this in most parts of the country depending on detailing and location.

Omg. I’d live there in a hot minute. It’s stunning visually, and provides everything needed, and zero wasted anything. Although if I lived there I’m not sure what your father or my husband would think.

Plus, honoring your father in this way is beautiful. You gave him his wishes of a “cabin” in the woods and also built him a home to address his health issues.

Beautiful in every way. Your father raised a good son. My current dream is to build something like this on a lake with a dock attached.
