clay brick and laminated glass.

The gardenshed shed was designed to replace the original which ficus creepers were not taking very well to. To this end, half clay brick walls were constructed in lieu of the glass walls and only the sheet glass roof and side wall was maintained, allowing for good daylighting within and good water flow ot irrigate the existing creepers on the adjacent wall.

The big idea was to have sunlight drip into the inner room of the shed in order for creepers to grow inside as well as out; a living garden shed of sorts.

In time, the ficus and fallen leaves have covered the glass roof for shade without entirely obscuring the sunlight, providing light for activity and growth and mottled pools of sun on the shed floor.
