Fine Homebuilding, January 2012 Issue

A backyard studio sanctuary built for an artistic client.

One of our projects is featured in the "Stylish Sheds" gallery in the newest issue of Fine Homebuilding. "The Queen's Magical Shed" for a client near St. Marys, used salvaged materials and was designed to complement the surrounding landscape. The client decided this shed was too lovely to store the lawn mower and out-of-season sporting goods so she reclaimed it as a tree-sheltered retreat for dreaming, napping, and creating art. I suppose we will be returning to build another shed for the yard tools and storage!
