Children novelist has fairytale style shed built to help provide writing inspiration in his back garden at his home in Hakney London.
Decked out with a wood burner surrounded by book shelves, the author has built this cabin with architects Weston Surman & Deane Architecture.
The children’s author and illustrator has the cabin built in his back garden as a workplace, to allow him to be inspired and delve
without distraction into his mythological style of writing. Filled with natural light by day through a north facing skylight the cabin is perfect for writing and creative illustration.
The exterior slats made from cedar provide a natural weather proofed material and the spacing in the design allows the mystical cabin the glow after the light of day has faded. The shed also boasts a covered veranda overlooking the garden, and the combination of these features should help the writer conceive his next piece.
