Writer’s Shed

A site-specific shed, designed and built as a versatile space for reading, writing, thinking, and rest.

The shed was designed to maximise versatility within strict limitations of size - no larger than 6 × 8 feet - and orientation. One side of the building was designed to open in its entirely, creating a larger ‘room’, partially open to the outdoors.

All materials, aside from the building’s structural frame, were reclaimed from local sources. Simple windows were fabricated from discarded double-glazing units, and a local fence, which had blown over, became the shed’s cladding.
