The shed brief
I don’t think all of the entries are serious, but its nonetheless interesting to study. There are some pretty neat and forward thinking designs here. Also, consider this an “homage” to our own shed building partner in crime, Jay…This is a chance to consider the essential purpose of the shed. Is it just an extension to the house, an overflow storage space, a dumping ground for junk? Why, then, are some people so inventive in utilising their sheds? Is it the shed’s unique capacity to provide a detached personal refuge within the suburban home that makes it such a springboard for originality? Some writers use their shed as a private study for their creative work; increasingly, people use it as an office from which to run their business from home. Perhaps it is the shed’s ability to adapt itself either to work or to leisure purposes with equal success that results in the diversity of roles it plays in our lives?

What is that picture of?
And oh yes, I have had all kinds of fantasies on the ultimate shed. Unfortunately, budget and desire to actually have a space, any space, to put junk in necessitated a fairly standard storage shed. But one day…..

That’s one of the concept sheds. There’s some pretty nutty designs on there.
