Outdoor Living Under $100,000

This garden shed addition enhances the functionality of our clients’ gardens and harmonizes with the architectural style of the sunroom. Both structures share a unified visual language, contributing to the overall cohesion of the garden and backyard while serving different functional needs.

Constrained by a maximum footprint of 200 square feet, 

the primary objective was to enhance the original shed's functionality while preserving its spatial relationship to the existing garden beds. 

The space planning strategy involved thoughtful additions, including 

a potting station, open shelving, and hanging storage for garden tools and supplies. 

Crescent Builds designed the form and layout to integrate a prefabricated greenhouse kit featuring a fully automated thermal regulation system. 

This not only extended the shed’s usability throughout the seasons but saved the client money by avoiding a custom design. 

The interior is clad in minimal finishes, featuring exposed wood framing, plywood walls, and concrete floors, 

allowing the materials to shine in their pure state. 

Replacing traditional swing doors with dual barn doors allowed for minimal spatial intrusion at the entrance. The asymmetrical roof design serves a dual purpose. Not only does it add visual interest, but it also guides the eye towards a row of clerestory windows similar to those in the sunroom addition, framing picturesque views of the surrounding trees. 

This cohesive approach creates a harmonious blend between functionality, aesthetics, and nature-conscious design.
