    Shed Features

    My shed reflects my observance that nothing in nature is square. I wanted to make a structure with natural shapes , a conical roof, flowing design, using natural timbers where I could. It was inspired by nature and the historical Trulli houses of northern Italy . I have used twisted ivy vines, to drape the entrance which creates a magical deep woodland feel, complete with gargoyle of a crown jester, which I couldn't resist. It has a hand clefted 'Sweet Chestnut ' shingle roof , a vestibule , stained glass interior window, arched picture window with traditional shutters, elevated off the floor to create a living space. It can be anything a garden office, sewing room, magical tree house and overnight escape. The white walls reflecting light makes it an ideal relaxed space and I just like chilling in it with a beer and my dog .
