Visit shedworking - Great Blog on Working at Home in Backyard Structures

I was pleased to get an e-mail today from Alex, who has a delightful U.K.-based blog called shedworking. It's dedicated to working from home in backyard offices, and it's a really fun read. Alex has an eye for slick stuff, including lots of modern and prefab sheds, offices, and cabins. Let me give you a couple of examples from shedworking posts:

The Colani Rotor House:



Hobby Huts from FAT Architects:



TS1 (Transportable Space One):



An interesting garden shed designed for the Chelsea Flower Show:



I think these kind of intriguing outdoor structures really help enhance your home. It's great to have a little space to get away. I've always dreamed of working from home, in a small office out back, preferably overlooking a nice little pond. Doing Future House Now is fun, but I think it would be even better in a smart shed office. Alex's site is a great resource if you're having those same thoughts.

Shedworking is doing very well. Alex has a book of the same name coming next year, and is also an organizer of the U.K.'s first ever National Shed Week to be held this July. Pretty impressive. Definitely do click over to shedworking, and say "hi!" to Alex. What a great site. I know I'll be reading from now on, and I bet you'll like it too.
