The Escape Pod garden office

For those who like their shedworking elliptical, here is The Escape Pod from Gloucestershire-based Podmakers run by furniture maker Dominic Ash and treehouse engineer specialist Jeremy Fitter It's made out of birch ply and oak then clad in cedar shingles and, best of all, can be rotated as it is built onto a platform 50cm off the ground.

Shedworking: Lavoro e buen retiro in giardino

 Brush up your Italian with this nice little piece about garden offices in Viva Italiani. Here's a snippet:

Lavorare a casa, magari in giardino circondati dal verde e dalle proprie cose. Un sogno che diventa realtà e adesso tendenza in Inghilterra, Usa, Germania, Paesi Bassi ma anche in Giappone. Il termine giusto è “Shedworking” che sta a significare lavorare in giardino, precisamente nel casotto degli attrezzi... Shed in inglese vuol dire proprio “capanna”, “baracca” e nel senso dato al termine di cui parliamo “casotto”.

Writer's studio

An impressive 450 sq ft studio for a writer by Dencity who say it was designed to be a "remote, quiet, meditative space for family members to get away from the daily rigor". Features include a sitting room, office area, and small library, plus a wraparound covered deck and, Shedworking's favourite element of all, a lookout roof deck.

David Solomons: Shedworker

Dorset-based writer David Solomons (screenplay for Five Children and It, and more recently My Brother is a Superhero, My Gym Teacher is an Alien Overlord, and My Evil Twin is a Supervillain) is also a shedworker, as is his novelist wife Natasha Solomons. Here he is talking about his splending writing shed, pictured above, to the equally splendid Book Trust:

'Some writers will tell you that working in a room with a view is a very bad idea. How can you possibly concentrate with herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically outside your window? While I am sympathetic, I confess that I've always craved a glassy, airy, minimalist space with the kind of view to get an estate agent thumbing frantically through his thesaurus. Since our children came along, the minimalist bit has taken a battering, but I'm not complaining. In My Brother is a Superhero, the narrator, Luke, regards his tree house as his sanctuary. This is mine.'

Music studio with stage

A marvellous garden office music teaching studio with additional performance space in Newcastle, Australia, by m3architecture.This is what they say about it:

We took inspiration from a method of teaching, founded in Finland. When considering Finland and music, we couldn’t help but think of architect Alvar Aalto and Finlandia Hall. This precedent provided a glimmer of a studio – a light filled space, with timber stage, white backdrop and blue audience zones compressed into a small studio. The design creates a unique backyard pedagogy – a spatial environment that enables students to drift in and out of practice and performance. The duality of the concept hybridises two worlds – the high architecture of a public building, and the DIY approach of a backyard.
