This Modular Shed Office Merges Sustainability, Creativity, Nature, and Functionality in Vancouver

Posted on by

Imagine an office space that’s not only environmentally conscious but also designed to inspire creativity and connect you with nature. That’s what designer Daniil Aron-Mokhov has accomplished with the SCHTAUSS Modular Shed Office. Built from leftover materials from a home renovation and complemented by locally sourced supplies from Vancouver’s small businesses, SCHTAUSS is the perfect marriage of sustainable design and multifunctional beauty.

Designer: Daniil Aron-Mokhov

The process behind its creation was a feat of precision and craftsmanship. After four days of laser cutting and fabrication at a local FabLab, SCHTAUSS was installed on-site in just two days. Situated two meters from the main building, it transforms a quiet corner of the property into a space that merges indoor functionality with outdoor enjoyment.

One of the most captivating features of it is the southern facade, which boasts three operable openings. These aren’t your typical windows, each one is designed to bring in fresh air and natural light while doubling as seating patios. Step outside for a moment of relaxation, or work with the doors wide open to let the breeze flow in. These flexible access points create a seamless indoor-outdoor workspace that’s as refreshing as it is functional.

But the surprises don’t stop there. At the back of the structure, a ladder invites you to explore the rooftop patio, a hidden gem that offers breathtaking views of Vancouver’s mountains. Normally concealed by the surrounding 2.5-meter hedges, these stunning vistas transform the rooftop into a serene retreat, a perfect spot to recharge, brainstorm, or even hold a casual meeting under the open sky.

This wooden and polycarbonate shed in New Zealand glows in the dark

Posted on by

Architecture studio Fabric designed a shed in Akaroa, New Zealand. Called, the Nightlight, the shed is wrapped with sleek timber slats that are inspired by the surrounding treeline. The 10 square meter shed is nestled in a clearing and is surrounded by kãnuka trees. The interesting feature of the shed is that it transforms into a light sculpture at night!

Designer: Fabric

The compact shed is part of a plan to transform the whole site into a home. The shed was designed to store items for the house which would be built in the future, while also serving as a glowing structure that can be viewed from the outdoor lounge spaces. The shed features a mono-pitched form which is translucent in nature and is made from polycarbonate. The shed has been elevated from the sloping ground with the help of concrete piles.

“Rather than locating this building out of sight like a typical shed or using it only for its services, Nightlight has been reimagined as a light sculpture that will proudly be seen from the future outdoor living space. The filtered light seen glowing between the slats at night is a contrasting aesthetic to the minimalist facade seen throughout the day,” said Fabric.

When illuminated from within, the light from the interiors of the shed radiates through the empty space in between the sleek timber slats, which subtly surrounds the exterior of the structure. The shed has a rather minimal footprint, and it was designed to be used as a workspace, outdoor kitchen, small bathroom, and storage area. The structure has been outfitted with both a toilet and a workbench. An external shower and sink have been added as well. The sleek timber slats were slathered with laminated veneer lumber (LVL) to make them stiff and sturdy, this ensured that fewer number of slats were required for the construction of the shed.

“All battens and slats were carefully lined up with the internal structure and used sparingly to allow a uniform pattern of glow at night. This critical geometry and alignment was a constant challenge throughout the build,” concluded Fabric. The timber planks were silvered in an attempt to resemble the surrounding kãnuka trees. The locally sourced macrocarpa wood used to build the external decking was silvered as well. Subtle muted green accents were added to the structure to help it further blend in with its surroundings.

TARDIS Shed: The Chameleon Circuit Works, Kinda

Posted on by

Hey look! The Doctor fixed the Chameleon circuit. It doesn’t look like a Police Box at all now. More of a Police Shed. However, you’ll notice that that Dalek isn’t fooled for one minute. Unless he’s just after some pruning sheers or something.
TARDIS Shed
This is a nice bit of TARDIS art. It was actually completed about a decade ago, but the man behind the project, Tardisbuilders user Einstein19, is just getting around to sharing it with the world now.

That only makes sense. He was clearly busy exploring time and space with some hot young companions. Hey, if I had a TARDIS shed, I would have done the same. The internet can wait. Any neighbors who come over to borrow tools naturally get sucked into an adventure or two. That will teach them.
