From Sarah:
For this “posh potting shed,” Edinburgh architect Helen Lucas used a simple palette of materials: cedar boarding (for the external cladding), aluminum (roof and roof structure), and glass (double-glazed timber-framed windows and doors). Cleverly, the aluminum roof extends over the kitchen back door, providing a covered route on rainy days.

Last week in London, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Piet Hein Eek’s new furniture collection at Liberty. An admirer of his work only via photos, I was stunned when I saw it in person. Weighty and dramatic, the simple yet sculptural pieces radiate depth and texture. We’re dreaming of their arrival in the US. Go to pietheineek.nl to ogle.

If you cannot access the furniture offerings of Piet Hein Eek, at least you can put him on your coffee table with the design-voyeur-worthy Boek, Piet Hein Eek. The tome covers the evolution of the Dutch designer’s company. Available at architectural book stores (reserve for $99 at SF’s venerable William Stout Architectural Books, go to stoutbooks.com) or online for $140 at publishedart.com:
