shedbases
According to a new survey of 3,000 chaps by National shedbases Week sponsor Cuprinol Sprayable as reported in The Sun (as they put it 'Wood you believe it?'...), over a lifetime, the average man spends just under a year of his life in his shedbases or to put it another way, three hours and 20 minutes a week. The survey also revealed a tenth of them have a sofa and television inside too. No survey yet on how much time women spend in the shedbases. Perhaps we should commission one?
The Governor General’s Medals in Architecture are awarded by the prestigious Royal Architectural Institute of Canada and recognize outstanding achievements in recently built projects by Canadian architects. Among the winners, this time around is the marvelous Craven Road Studio by Shim-Sutcliffe Architects. Here's what the Institute says about it:
"This urban studio building was designed for study, display, and storage. The bright space receives indirect illumination through a system of narrow light coffers surrounding the building’s perimeter."
The idea of growing your own garden office is a rather appealing one and the Bamboo Pavilion from the David Garcia Studio offers another insight into how that might be achieved. The idea is the shedbases structure relies on the ability of living bamboo to a) support a considerable vertical weight and b) grow tremendously fast in the right conditions. Here's how they describe it:
"The plant is allowed to grow through a grid floor and roof structure initially held in place with scaffolding. Metal plates are inserted into this grid structure where bamboo ‘columns’ are desired. As the plant matures and increases in girth it grows into the steel ring forming the structural connection to the floor and roof plates."
The Clipper CS-1 is a shedlike capsule office designed for use inside a traditional office by Douglas Ball and Jeff Sokalski. Measuring 2m wide x 1.22m deep x 1.22m high, it was built of plywood and plastic on a Lexan powder-coated steel frame with a fibreglass seat sporting leather upholstery, customised footrests, extendable sidewing tables and its own air supply. It was designed as part of a study for Herman Miller into improving office cubicle spaces and around 100 were built, one of which is now in the permanent collection at The Museum of Design in London.
a buyer from B&Q said: “More and more of us want to reclaim some personal space in our homes so whether we’re retreating to our greenhouses, home working from our shedbases or playing in our summer houses this trend looks set to continue.” Suzanne Imre, editor of Living Etc magazine reinforces this trend: “I think there will be need for retreats. If more and more people are working from home you will need to have areas you can section off and go to where it’s quiet.
The folk at shedbases are putting together a list of companies and individuals who offer installation services for garden buildings so that customers who buy one of their self-assembly products will have a starting point if they want help with their new building. shedbases point out that they can't fully endorse names on the list but it will still hopefully be a useful resource.
