Our shed in the backyard with squatting gophers conflicts me. Shingles are falling off. The roof is in disrepair. Inside the stench of gasoline is so thick–light a match and it may very well blow up. The shed goads me. This is a designer project in the making. Then I run inside. Though the possibilities do excite–a backyard getaway, writer’s studio or simply a timeout place like my son’s teepee.

With some light goggling I discover Modern Shed, a company that designs ecological friendly and spectacular looking structures. The clever husband and wife team based in Seattle had the idea to have one place to service what their vintage 1940s home lacked. As with all innovative ideas, a need was met and company was born. Thus the inspiration process begins.
