Designer Sheds Make For Less Depressing Cubicles

Working in a shed doesn’t sound like an upgrade from a depressing cubicle. But the spired roof of this Tetra-Shed will make it feel like you work in a private alpine lodge, even without a fireplace or comfy bearskin rug.

The angular and stealthy looking Tetra-Shed was created by David Ajasa-Adekunle, an architect who runs his own studio in London. So he not only knows how to design a unique space, but also one that can foster creativity and productivity.

Each shed provides a private or semi-private workspace for a couple of employees, complete with desk space, overhead storage and subtle recessed lighting. A series of windows and a front door let additional light in, but the whole thing can be sealed up when complete privacy or quiet is needed.

And while their design looks it favours form over function, the unique angles actually allow multiple Tetra-Sheds to be placed next to each other in clusters, maximising the use of office space. They should be available by next year, but I think they should seriously consider renaming them Tetra-Forts, since I can see these completely revolutionising office warfare. [Tetra-Shed via DVICE]

    but is it soundproof? I’d like a soundproof one so I can not hear the guy in my pod who talks non-stop all day about how awesome he is.

    Looks cool. But a classic case of “solution searching for a problem”. Where on EARTH would you put these things? I guess if you were Google and had a crap load of space and too much money you could sprinkle them around in a large space. They require a very high ceiling for them to be placed indoors though, they appear to be about 10 feet tall. Do you run cabling in through the floor or the roof?

    And not a single office will adopt them because most managers think that employees get up to no good when there’s privacy.

    I’d put a weather-proofed one in a corner of my back yard, but then running power to it would be a problem…

    the thing with cubes is that they slot in well next to each other. Think of all the wasted space with these.

    Fail.
