Shedworking is an inspirational illustrated handbook which no shed owner will want to be without.
The book features the shedworkers and shedbuilders from around the world who are leading the alternative workplace revolution, and looks at why shedworking is a greener way of working, improves work-life balance and accelerates your productivity.
Inspired by the author's website, www.shedworking .co.uk, internationally acclaimed for the groundbreaking scale of its architectural coverage, this book is bursting with previously unpublished images of garden offices and shedlike atmospheres; offices on roofs, sheds inside `traditional' offices and on wheels, cutting edge Le Corbusier designed models for the back garden, all-glass shed offices and buildings assembled from living trees.
Along the Way it offers a whistle-stop tour of famous sheds from pliny the Younger's summerhouse and the retreats of classical composers Grieg and Mahler to twenty-first century fantasy writer Neil Gaiman's gazebo.
In short, Shedworking offers an inspiring manifesto for those wanting to change their working lives for the better and go to work in the garden.
