Writers Shed by Weston, Surman & Deane | London (UK)

The bottom of a garden can be a mysterious place for children and when asked to create a 'writer's shed' for an author and illustrator passionate about children's literature and mythologies, that's exactly where London-based studio Weston, Surman & Deane began.

The space, a haven in the midst of the busy city and a fairy-tale cavern at the bottom of the garden, is a place where a writer can escape to relax, think and work. Externally the facade is created from cedar and shingle cladding and also features a log store and chimney; inside large north-facing skylights flood the workspace with natural light. Weston, Surman & Deane also fitted an impressive bookcase around the wood burning stove for the client to store his extensive library.
