Vormgevingsbureau | studio Jo Meesters | Light Box. Light Box is a series of lamps made in the tradition of furniture making. The lamp which is made out of wood has a pattern of 8.000 holes reinforced with transparant resin. In combination with the pattern of low growing trees, Light Box is the ideal room divider forming an artificial hedge or a nocturnal landscape with your home.

Name: Chuck and JessicaLocation: Silver Spring, MarylandSize: 196 square feetYears lived in: Completed this year, 2009 Chuck is an architect and furniture designer and Jessica is a painter, so their shed was built out of necessity to provide additional workspace behind their home. Built from the ground up and using many salvaged materials, the shed keeps in line with their philosophy on environmental responsibility. And given Chuck's occupation, it's no surprise their shed won the International Shed of the Year award for 2009.

Built by Chuck himself, the shed's 196 square feet size was dictated by their zoning laws. If they kept the size under 200 square feet, they wouldn't be required to pull permits, which meant a lot less red tape and hassle. And fortunately for Chuck, he was blessed with lots of help from his neighbors and architect friends — if only we were all that lucky! Some of my favorite elements of the shed are in the details.
