Ever dream of adding just a little more room onto your living space? Joseph just sent us photos of a wonderful combination studio/shed that he designed and built. About the project, he writes, "It is an 8x10’ studio/shed built in Petaluma, CA....
It features rain-screen siding of reclaimed redwood fencing. A polycarbonate clearstory provides ample light for any use. The interior walls are plywood and pegboard to provide a finished appearance with flexible use/storage options. Originally designed for storage, it now also serves as a quiet retreat from the main house.

I like.
Waaay better than the house it's next to...
does not fit the adjacent structure at all, but a really nice, simple design.
"polycarbonate clearstory"
Could you be looking for "clerestory" here? (pronounced clu-ress-tory)
yup. It's "clerestory."
That would make a killer chicken coop.
Isn't this the shed that Ready-Made sells plans to? It looks like he did a very nice job, but I'm pretty sure the design credit goes to Edgar Blazona.
Actually, according to the OED:
clerestory
Also 5 clerstory, clarestory, 6 clerestorey, (7 clarester), 8 cleer story, 5-9 clear story, 9 clearstory. [Commonly believed to be f. clere, CLEAR STORY stage of a building, ‘floor’ of a house. (Clere must here have meant ‘light, lighted,’ since the sense ‘free, unobstructed’ did not yet exist: see CLEAR a.)
No need to chide, it's an old word with many guises. That's a pretty sweet shed, regardless of the nomenclature of its fenestration.
I downloaded that free plan from Ready-Made ages ago--so great to see someone actually do it!
I really like the wood choice. Gives it a great rustic look.
You go jimmynwade...The armchair editors on this site can be so tiresome. I love my OED by the way.
Hi, I am the designer and builder. I just wanted to clarify that this is not Edgar Blazona’s design. If you look up his design you can see that while they are both small structures with shed roofs, the details are very different.
Thanks,
Joseph
