Grand Designs Live - the sheds

Suw at the always interesting Kits and Mortar has been scouring the Grand Designs Live show for all the best bits and has done a marvellous roundup of the garden office and shedlike structures on offer this year. Naturally she covered the GlassPod and Rooms Outdoor but she also came across the Jörnträhus (pictured above) about which she had some mixed feelings...

GlassPod

Every year Grand Designs Live always provides interesting shedlike structures and this year among the exhibitors was the descriptively-named Clear Glass Structures. In a direct evolutionary line from Philip Johnson's Glass House and the Farnsworth House built by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the Essex-based company's GlassPod comes in square and rectangular models in three sizes, is double glazed (you'd hope so really wouldn't you), LED floor lights, and has a green roof. Options include opaque glass for an element of privacy. Each modular-constructed Glasspod takes three days to build. It's greenhouseworking at its finest.
