Charlotte Gusay: shedworker

Literary agent Charlotte Gusay has been a shedworker for five years ago, based in the garden office she built with husband Bobby Milder (on the site of a former mock 12th century Japanese teahouse) using an Edgar Blazona plan. It has plenty of glass and burnished, corrugated metal sidings, a daybed its own little garden, designed by landscape architect Alan Bernstein, with armchair and bench seating plus outdoor shower.Here's what she told Debra Prinzing at Shed Style:

"I really love (my shed). Sometimes, when I’m overly pressured, I just go out here and look around, listen to the gravel crunch under my footsteps, pick up a leaf or two, lean on the wall, look at the sky. Gaze at the view of the garden from inside the little room."

Choosing a US shed – modular dwellings

Modular Dwellings is the brainchild of designer Edgar Blazona and has one of the most exciting ranges of garden office-type constructions I’ve seen, essentially prefabs built for living in as much as working in, including 9ft floor to ceiling glass walls, pull-out beds, and sleeping ‘lofts’. The smaller models, which are simply shipped by truck, feature steel frames and there is even a DIY option. The web site is really zingy and well worth a browse.

Cabin fever

A great article in ReadyMade magazine about shedworking structures including name checks for Modern Shed, hive modular, Sustain, Modern Cabana, and Mfinity plus some great examples of Edgar Blazona's designs in situ (his bestselling MD100 is pictured above).
