When the Tetra Shed first debuted in 2012 as a faceted modular living unit, it seemed unlikely that it would ever become a reality. It had a strange silhouette unlike anything typically seen in residential architecture, with its triangular doorway, distorted hexagonal footprint, and the irregular planes of its roof and walls. It looked like the sort of 3D architectural renderings that get a brief flurry of attention on the internet and then fade away forever, never to actually be constructed. But this modular building system is real, all right.
The first prototype appeared at the self build event Grand Designs Live London, and then the shed became available on a wide scale throughout the UK and Europe for £15,000. Consumers could choose from a variety of finishes, fittings, and extras like ambient LED lighting, underfloor heating, and built-in wall speakers. Though initially envisioned as a backyard studio, the Tetra Shed was large enough to be used as a detached guest suite, too....
