My shed...

Just watching Shed of the Year. 

How I would relish the opportunity (and the space in the compacted suburban jungle of Ealing) to build my own shed. Yes, a shed. Not the regular off-the-shelf shed from B&Q but the delicious fruits of one's craftsmanship. 

Some of my family and friends know that in another life I would have wanted to be an architect-cum-surveyor-cum-carpenter. 
Not being a particularly artistic creature I wouldn't necessarily get merit for the beauty but, technically, I would like to design (and build) a practical and innovative residence. Or in this case, an annexe to one's  abode.

At this stage, not sure of the theme I would embark on like the ones we see on the Channel4 Amazing Spaces series. Some designs are totally strange and definitely some eccentric. A handful totally bizarre. 
Seems that the 'alternative' Grand Designs or rather 'Grand Designs Lite' has a cult following. 
Admit it, you watch it too!

I will leave you to ponder on your designs and purpose of one's back garden 'hut'.  
Feel free to share your ideas and designs.
