If you can't afford a modern prefab for yourself, the least you can do is get one for your kids. "The Modern Playshed is all about modern architecture, affordability, and creative customization for parents, with good design and and imaginative play for kids. Designed by Ryan Grey Smith, (of Modern-shed fame) architect and parent, in collaboration with Velocity, "the Modern Playshed is inspired by classic mid-century architecture. The prefab design is thoughtfully constructed to be as much fun to assemble, customize, and decorate as it is for playtime." Only $2,995 or if you count such things, $ 111.67 PSF. from ::Velocity
