WSD Architecture were commissioned by their client, an author and illustrator, to design and build a backyard shed where they could work, at the end of their property in the London Borough of Hackney.

When describing the shed, WSD Architecture mention, “the space is conceived as a haven in the city; a fairy-tale hut at the bottom of the garden where the client can retreat and immerse himself in his work.”

You enter the shed through a small covered deck area, and inside the door, there’s a small bathroom tucked away in the corner.

A skylight above the desk provides plenty of natural light.

The entire back wall has been fitted out with a custom-designed bookshelf.

A wood burning fireplace keeps the shed warm.

A tiny cut-out window is perfectly framed like it is part of the bookshelf.
