A commission for Paul Smith’s “ideal shed” by Nathalie de Leval:
The whole shed was made in a single material, rough sawn thermo-treated ash, a new type of heat-treated timber that allows ash to be used outside, with just one strip of bright green metal as a magnetic stop for the door. The traditional joinery and shiplap cladding are reminiscent of beautiful barns, and the huge house shaped Crittall window at the end frames the view. The whole shed was put on a pivoting base, to allow the shed to be rotated so it can follow the sun.
