Like some of the other sheds we’ve showcased here, this garden habitat can be used as a children’s playhouse, a storage space, a workshop, or a backyard getaway. But we think this one, designed in collaboration with design engineering student, Mara Callaert, is exceptionally beautiful.

My teenage appreciation of the garage in preference over the house, is vindicated. Even the most funtional,overlooked and neglected structures ofthe residential landscape are now getting the overdue attention they deserve. And look at what beauties are born. When I moved into my parent's Ohio garage/storage shed at 16, the all thought I was crazy, and said even worse. Past forty, my self-built homes reflect a similiar aestethic and no one thinks I am crazy. And all they can say is positive and laiden with envy. Beautiful, beautiful, and under the building code wire. I am looking forward to much more from these designers/builders/architects/good thinkers. Familiar and approachable by anyone, any well concieved and executed structure can be "a man's castle". As FLW was so fond of reminding us, "should be as inspiring as any canyon or cathedral." And this simple shed meets that standard.Well Done. It is work like this that gives me hope. At last. My teenage appreciation of the garage in preference over the house, is vindicated.

I was very impressed with the model at CA Boom. A fantastic extra room. Seeing them in person is great- these sheds are like a well finished house. I was very impressed with the model at CA Boom.

How well insulated? Do they look as solid and substantial in person as they do in photos? Thanks. Anyone who has seen these in person: How sturdy do they seem? How well insulated?

The one they had on display at CA Boom last weekend had two windows. Here's a shot of the model that was on display:http://www.landliving.com/image/modernshed.jpgGreat structures! I would love to put one in my backyard as an office. I think they have several different models. The one they had on display at CA Boom last weekend had two windows.
