Friggebod by Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter

A friggebod is a Swedish garden shed, a way of getting a little more space and a little more privacy. Dorte Mandrup Arkitekter have designed a lovely little 100 square foot cabin/ office/ guest room prefab that is lovely to look at.

Built into the wall to the left of the bookcases.....

...is a bed that folds out and rests on the lower pulled-out part of the bookcase...

...and I suspect that little ledge in the wall to the right in this picture.

Clean and clever design, all within 100 square feet, which is legal to install in many places without a building permit. ::Kompakt Sommarstuga from ::Below the Clouds via ::Notcot
