There's a brand-new style out there for garden sheds, and what it's NOT is just a storage area for tools, garden gloves, packets of seed and the like. This new shed, rather, is a very personal place with a personal style -- used for dining, for reading, as a sanctuary or landscape hideaway.
Author Debra Prinzing, also columnist for the Seattle Post Intelligencer, is seeking photos and stories of unique garden sheds from landscape architects and designers for her new book, Shed Style, which will be published in 2008 by Clarkson Potter/Random House. Contact her if you know of a shed with unique architectural style and features, insider or out. Photos to be by photographer William Wright.

I wonder why so many of us think of sheds as strictly functional and neglect to consider their possible aesthetic effects. A pleasant shed (or any space in which to work, actually) encourages productivity and induces a calmness of spirit.
