Shoffice

St John's Wood, London, NW8

Shoffice (shed + office) is a garden pavilion containing a small office alongside garden storage space to the rear of a 1950s terraced house in St John’s Wood, London.

The brief required the shoffice to be conceived of as a sculptural organically object that flowed into the garden space. The glazed office space nestles into an extruded timber elliptical shell, reminiscent of a wood shaving that unfurls to form a small terrace in the lawn.

The interior is oak lined and fitted out with a cantilevered desk and storage. Two rooflights - one glazed above the desk with another open to the sky outside the office bring light into the work space.
