The Tetra Shed might just be the perfect solution for those looking for a private home office space. Place the geometric-shaped unit in your yard to accommodate your office or storage needs. One of the cool things about it is that you can expand it beyond a single module and create larger workspaces. They could even be used as a guest room, garden shed, or kid’s playhouse.

And that’s what architect Doris Kim Sung, assistant professor of architecture at the USC School of Architecture, is currently doing with her “Bloom” 20-foot tall undulating installation in Silver Lake, Los Angeles made from 14,000 tiny sheets of metal that opens and closes with the sun.
