Seems like sheds and huts hold a special place in the heart of many authors, I’ve come across a few in my meanderings around the web and I’ll write about them intermittently.
George Bernard Shaw’s movable hut is a great example and a practical, powerful design. Who needs artificial light when you can follow the sun with your shed – the ultimate in passive solar design.
It’s a shame but I think I’d better discount rollers or revolving from my own design – I’m not sure rotating cob is such a good idea. The hut did incorporate a day-bed which does appeal to the lay-about in me though and that may be workable.
