Dining Area of Shed/House by John Redington

Here’s What It Cost to Build 10 of Our Favorite Homes of the Year

The single-story home evokes John’s love of old sheds, with its long, thin form and corrugated aluminum siding. Yet it’s also wrapped in windows and sliding glass doors that fill the interior with natural light and encourage natural ventilation. The combined kitchen and dining room, featuring two pieces of family-heirloom furniture, feels spacious thanks to a vaulted ceiling. The walls and ceiling are clad in Douglas fir.
