Friday Finery: The Blooming Shed

A very distinctive garden building space for this week's Finery from BAT Studio (photograph by Martina Lang) called The Blooming Shed. It was designed as part of the community garden at Chase Farm Hospital in Enfield, London, which is a key element in the hospital's mental health facilities, giving patients the opportunity to enjoy the restorative effects of nature.

Quite unlike most hospital buildings, the facade is actually on giant runners in three sections so it can be moved around, the roof has corrugated steel panels, and the interior has attractive barrel vaulting. Quite rightly, it has been shortlisted for the AJ Small Projects 2025 prize.
