This old house reports on these great shedlike houses in Texas, I wonder if the new planning laws would allow one over here!!

Kittel is among a growing group of builders and designers who are challenging the long-standing belief that a bigger house is a better house. But unlike many of his peers in the small-house movement, whose contemporary mod-pod designs seem to be inspired more by the future than the past, Kittel’s approach is decidedly Little House on the Prairie

Those posh sheds are featured in the NYTIMES

THREE years after renovating their 1903 brownstone in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn, Greg and Cheyenne Morris turned their attention to their backyard, which contained an odd assortment of disused items — sinks, toilets, Virgin Mary statuettes, wheels from street vendor carts and a moldering stucco garden shed. They cleaned up the yard, made preparations to demolish the shed and asked an architect to draft plans for a free-standing studio to be used as a bedroom and office.

They look happy with their shed anyway

Michael Falco for The New York Times

“It was expensive,” said Mr. Morris, a photographer, who spent $76,000 for a Kithaus with a bathroom, ipe wood deck and louvers, “but it was worth it to not have any more contractors and electricians traipsing through my house.”

The Times also has a great article about Michael Janzen

who has spent the summer building an 80-square-foot “tiny house” out of free stuff he found on Craigslist?

I was never a big fan of those posh ,glass modern designer sheds, but after see so many great sheds over the past wossname.. I am starting to like them, as long as they are unique and not cookie cutter sheds, of course for most traditional sheddies they are not an option due to the price for these things.

I like this one for instance.

A lot of them tend to be used for offices and the like, but if you see any more of these about, then let me know what you think.

also why not take part in our current shed vote about the next shed you are going to get as a sheddies can’t just have one.

Last week I blogged about if I won the lottery what my ultimate shed would be, well now John over at Secrets of shed building is running a competition where you can get your ideal shed put onto paper (well working drawings you can use to build your dream shed)

You could have a shed like Tim.

What is your ideal shed? How big would it be? What would you use it for? What details roof, door, windows would you select. In this competition you submit your ideal shed design and for the top design I will produce working drawings to enable you to build the shed of your dreams. An important aspect of this competition is that I’m not asking for the height of architectural sophistication in drawing and presentation. Each entry should be for a shed or garden building up to 15 sq m (150 sq ft). With a written description of what features you would like to see along with a sketch. The judging will be on a combination of the ideas, how well they are written and for the sketch.

The entries can be submitted here on the competition page . Tips on what to include are here on the shed design page.
