Overview
Shedhouse is the result of a design/build studio at the University of Arkansas, Fay Jones School of Architecture in the spring semester of 2016. The task was to design and build a folly in a former farmland, in the outskirts of Fayetteville, Arkansas. The folly is set at the end of an open field, opposite to the main barnhouse in the area. The idea was to establish a dialogue between the two buildings and use the folly to capture the different qualities of light through openings in three directions. The upper space faces the large field and the barnhouse while the lower space opens up to the green foliage which frames the open field. Inside is a small Japanese garden which connects to an outside rest area with a firepit.
