Modern, Prefab Sheds
NYT 4.6.08

We've had our eye on the trend for pre-fabricated modern sheds for a while — with the recent addition of Kithaus to the lineup at Design Within Reach and the upcoming MoMA exhibit on prefab housing, this could be just the beginning...

The New York Times real estate magazine Key takes a look at the movement with Modern-Shed founder Ryan Smith. The shed pictured is Office Outbuilding A shed by Modern Cabana. Check out Can’t Beat the Commute fore more.

These are beautiful.

Also -- who makes the coffee table(s)?

The coffee tables were made by Ian McLean at hairpinlegs.com.

I wish they weren't so expensive! Or, I wish Home Depot sold modern ones that were the same price as their hideous ones ($600-1000). Modern shouldn't mean crazy expensive!

Go to ReadyMadeMag.com and buy the plans for your own! Its like $35 for the plans, but they tell you where to get what, where, etc. I'm sure you can customize it to your modern specifications

Speaking of ReadyMade, the new issue has a big feature on real-life modern/prefab sheds, including the total dollar amounts spent on each one.
