Everything about Shed Style totally explained
Shed Style refers to a style of architecture that makes heavy use of exposed wooden surfaces, inspired by traditional mountain lodge architecture, but much more modernistic in its execution. Other materials such as stone and textured concrete may also be employed.
Coniferous trees are usually used in the surrounding landscaping, adding to the "woodsy" feel of the architecture. These buildings are usually very angular and faceted in their design to emphasize the wood paneling, both inside and out. Expansive,
translucent panels of
fluorescent lighting are commonly seen interlaced with the wooden surfaces. Shed style architecture experienced most of its popularity in the
1970s, where it was commonly used for houses, schools and small office buildings. The style largely died out in urban areas in the late
1980s, mostly due to the high maintenance requirements of the wooden exteriors. Shed Style is still very popular in forested regions, where many would argue it rightly belongs, and most of the structures built by the
National Park Service are still being built in this style, perhaps the most notable of these being the
Yosemite Village and
Camp Curry developments in
Yosemite National Park.
