Andrew from Australia sent me this photo that has been artistically enhanced by a friend.
The little house is called a “Shed with a Twist” and is exactly that. The Shed has power and running water, with a telephone line that was run but not connected.
The shed is approx 7m X 4m external with a loft 1/3 of the truss space. It has a great little wood heater and “The Shed” sits amongst 10 acres of firewood. The gardens around the dwelling are established with silver birches and lots of other european plants and then surrounded by bush which is open woodland with no undergrowth. The dwelling is surrounded by crushed rock and sits on a brick pad. You can see more photos and learn more about it on the Twisted Shed blog.
Wow! Interesting blog with some insights into Australian bush life. Goes well beyond a shed in my book, twisted or not. The corrugated metal raised beds look like an good idea too. Not sure I could handle the bug scene in Australia!
I’d be too scared to build a house in the bush like that in Australia – unless it had wheels and could be rapidly moved when bushfire season came around..
Interesting shed. Hmmn…I’m thinking but kinda scary too surrounded by a trees. But like the idea and the landscape 😉
