That would't be hard to build, but getting it to stand up to our wind would be near impossible. In addition, our weather would preclude enjoying it most of the year. In Wisconsin we have fall, winter, spring, and summer with one or two nice days in each season.

It has a certain amount of "air flow" thru the building, Red . . . .

Kind of reminds me of this:

What do we call that? Slatted? They could be moved to the exterior on top and serve as a roof deck.

That's certainly unusual. I would worry about my pruning shears getting rusty if the rain blew in sideways!

I am curious how wide that is . . . A "full size" bed is 54 inches.

If some of the shelves are as shallow as they seem to be, I don't know how the interior space is accounted for.

The builder is a German cabinet/furniture maker. I think I'd be happy in a home with the interior built by a cabinet maker. Sure! Have everything built in. Forget about buying new living room furniture -- pull the entire room out, floor/ceiling/walls . . . and begin anew. Boom!

I'm not too sure about him doing the interior and the exterior, too. Might be kind of hard to fit inside a shelving unit.

Steve :D

I don't know about that first one :confused:
I think I'm more of a stick in the mud traditional shed liker, but that picnic table with the slatted roof looks like a great structure for hardening your plants off in...on...

Steve, thanks! I rather like that one. Certainly more adaptable to Wisconsin's weather. I wonder what the taxes on something like that would be? I could call it a gazebo and maybe even include room for a sauna.

Huh? The view may only be good in one direction. Perhaps, there are windows on the far side. Would think the door is over there.

I think this little cabin is in the Netherlands. The measurements are metric. Of course, since we 'mericans are the only people in the world still using measurements from our days as British colonists!

Anyway, the numbers the builder has look to be for the stepped-down widths. So, the narrowest part is about 10' :).

I am reminded of a guy I once knew who had a collection of olde cameras. I can almost see him setting one up there on the beach ;).

I wonder what the inside looks like? I hope someone lives there but it's hard to tell how big it really is. I'm surprized it doesn't have more windows. I imagine it has wonderful views.
