The intriguing GardenArk from zero-carbon design and development specialists
Zed Factory comes as a kit and emphasises its ecofriendliness, pointing out it is made from "trees, sheep, soil and grass" - which means sheeps wool insulation and FSC timber framing with a green roof option.

With its weatherboard cladding it is, they say, "designed "to sit 'in' rather than 'on' the landscape". Features include large double glazed patio doors and deck, space for a foldaway double bed with options for a log stove and flue, durable monocrystalline solar powered lighting and laptop charging (PV array can be orientated through 360°), wind turbine, composting lavatory and wash handbasin filled by rainwater harvesting system. It all fits on a plot size of 5m x 5.5m.

The same folk also have a larger option along very similar lines called the LandArk (below) which they point out would work as a home or an office and can sleep up to eight.
That's a really cool shed! I want one!
