Modern Shed Office
Modern Shed Office
This was my entry for the 2010 Porch Shed Design Competition.The Modern Shed Office is designed as an alternate space to work and
study. I wanted to retain a visual connection to the outside as well as
create exterior seating that could be used during pleasant weather.
While the building is specifically sited for my use, it can be placed
virtually anywhere.The interior space boasts a 100 square foot
office with bookshelves, a desk, and reading/lounging area. Windows are
punched through the facade opposite of the curtain wall to continue the
visual connection to the outside. A ceiling fan is used for lighting
and ventilation. I wanted a clean and simple space that didn't mimic
the feeling of an office cubicle but instead a space that would inspire
creativity.The multi-level porch/stairs invite you from the
ground up to the office level as well as provide exterior seating. The
porch also includes four concrete planters with native flowers. The
simplicity of the form allows the shed to be customized by finish and
color to fit the user. The shed sits on six concrete piers to lighten
it's impact on the site. This pier foundation also allows the shed to
adapt to many different sites with slopes whereas a typical shed would
require costly excavation for proper siting.
