The Portic-Shed
by Lise HOANG
(Bristol, UK)
The shed is a play area for children and/or quiet area for adults.
It is made of timber, with 4 pairs of portic and curvy timber walls.
Two areas, indoor and (covered) outdoor, can be used at any time, depending how people feel.
The roof is made of polycarbonate as well as vertical translucent panels.
Vegetation are growing onto the portic and the horizontal timber boards.
The shed can be smaller size or bigger size depending on how many portics you want.
Dimensions shown are 6mx3m with 2.5mx3m for outdoor area.
Atmosphere is created by the timber on the front and side elevations. Vegetation on these two elevation will soften the light and would give some privacy without hiding what is happening.
