Matt Pyke: shedworker

Matt Pyke runs his - quite astonishing - virtual, multidisciplinary studio Universal Everything from his garden office in Sheffield (his clients include Apple, Audi and Nokia which underlines the fact that you don't need spectacular offices to be a big player). The shed is the hub of an international collective of artists, designers and general allround creative folk.

Below is a video about Matt and his work when he was an atticworker in his preshedworking days.

Cubes by Atelier 37.2

These marvellous cubist shedworking structures made of plywwood and steel were designed by Atelier 37.2 for Parisian photo studio 'Le Petit Oiseau va sortir'. They house all the hairstyling and makeup bits and bobs plus work as a reception area too.

Macquarie Sydney - One Shelley Street


This is a great example of how shedworking concepts can be used in traditional offices, using customised pod spaces to work in. You can see stills instead of the video at the Clive Wilkinson Architects site.

Cabin

This is a cabin rather than a strictly shedworking space. Isn't it lovely though?

Made in a shed: Where to stay guide for Silverstone

The Where to stay guide for Silverstone is a great resource for all those who enjoy F1 Grand Prix, the motorcycling MotoGP and Superbikes as well as other big events such as The Silverstone Classic, track days, and half marathons (and it's also close to the famous market towns of Towcester and Brackley which are well worth a visit).

The site, which also has a presence on Twitter, has been put together by shedworker James Rudd, the mastermind behind hyperlocal news site Towcester News.
