Article source: Platform 5 Architects ‘Shoffice’ (shed + office) is a garden pavilion containing a small office alongside garden storage space located to the rear of a1950’s terraced house in St John’s Wood. The brief required the shoffice to be conceived of as a sculptural object that flowed into the garden space.  Image Courtesy © Alan Williams Photography

The interior is oak lined and fitted out with storage and a cantilevered desk. Two roof lights – one glazed above the desk with another open to the sky outside the office bring light into the work space.

The lightweight structure, formed with two steel ring beams, timber ribs and a stressed plywood skin, sits on minimal pad foundations. Much of the project was prefabricated to reduce the amount of material that needed to be moved through the house during construction.
