Brothers
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have come up with a number of interesting shedworking designs. Above is their Lit clos model (highlighted on
Cabin Fever) made from painted birch plywood, steel, aluminium and altuglas which could be used as a home office both inside the home (if you had a big loft space) and outside in the garden. Here's what they say about it:
"It’s a box that’s sufficiently closed to accommodate a bed and the intimacy that it presupposes, and at the same time sufficiently open not to be claustrophobic. The box is on an architectural scale, between a bed and a bedroom. It uses techniques from furniture manufacture: painted plywood, soldered steel, and above all there’s the DIY assembly of the kind that you get with a piece of Ikea furniture."
Along similar lines is the Polystyrene house below made from
strips of polystyrene, plywood, PVC, rubber, strings and plexiglas.

And finally, more of a psychological shed, the Cabane, which as the Bouroullecs say "simply defines a perimeter" but is still very attractive, made from plastic, metal and of course, wool.
