Here’s a project that will get any weekend warrior excited, especially one tackling the tear-down and installation of a new fence. Occupying a footprint of no more than 8’ x 10’ this little studio/shed in Petaluma, CA was made from rain-screen siding and reclaimed redwood fencing. Plenty of daylight makes it to the interior space thanks to a simple polycarbonate clearstory, and the interior is finished with plywood and pegboard to hang all of your gardening tools. Designed and built by Joseph Sandy, the project takes reclaimed wood and turns it into a beautiful building with its own unique story to tell.

    So, as I see it, the siding is the only reclaimed material on this. This needs a coat of paint from the local paint recycler. Looks like a future home for rodents and insects. It’s hardly a “beautiful garden studio” more like a tobacco drying shed.

    This one was also made from reclaimed/reused parts.

    Sincerely I do not share your opinions…
    To me it is an excellent effort to join reclycled material and a solution for extra covered space with a design bias.
    Well done guys!

    this is a very original looking structure, I would have put in a few windows at eye height to give a view… like the mix of slivered and golden timber and the contrast with the functional roof – looks great!
