Gallery: Maisongomme: A Funky Garden O...
The structure was creatively made from scrap wood, insulation glass, repurposed stainless steel trays and some leftovers from an old shed that used to stand on the same space.
Maisongomme measures 10×26 ft and features long, vertical windows recovered from a shop that went bust. The windows infuse the space with plenty of light and they allow for fresh air to permeate the interior. The structure was creatively made from scrap wood, insulation glass, repurposed stainless steel trays and some leftovers from an old shed that used to stand on the same space.
But what really makes the structure stand out is it rubbery walls, which have made from car tires found at a local garage. The tires together with some stone wool insulation make this fantastic garden shed both water and winter-proof. The interior walls were created with assorted pieces of found wood, and their setting form an eco-friendly patchwork motif.
Maisongomme is yet another fantastic example of how we can create our own piece of paradise using what’s already available.

I found this post after looking for other information on garden office but what a great idea, although building garden offices from recycled products is not everyone speciality, it certainly shows that it can be!
We are providing structure of garden office, garden studio, planning permission for garden offices, granny annexes or garden studios and outdoor kitchens.
That is one cool shed! My wife and I both run home-based businesses. Once we outgrew the dining room table we knew we needed a “real” office to keep our sanity. So, we built our office shed dubbed our “World Shedquarters” ourselves and are loving every minute of it! We used a lot of recycable products but nowere near as much as in this article. Way to go Petr and Marcella! You can check ours out at http://danielhayes.me/build-an-office-shed
