The magic box

As a young girl (living in a country where houses have a real gardens) I was consumed with creating a little cosy hideout where I could dream, create and escape into my own 'magic' world. Sadly a few blankets, rainy days and a big brother who's sole existence was to bug me in my little fairyland meant they didn't last longer than a few hours.


I recently saw an article for a prefabricated 'box' for the garden, courtyard or rooftop. So much more interesting open than your average garden shed, 'The Magic Box is an extension room that can be used as an office, studio or serve any purpose that the user imagines.'







'The designer calls it “a versatile ‘box’ that changes the stereotypes of prefabricated houses and extension rooms by having qualities such as transparency and simplistic form with high versatility. The Magic Box also creates innovative life styles and business environment. You are free to drive your imagination into transforming this box into your own working space or space for your hobbies.”'



Magic Box design team estimate it takes about one month to produce the components followed by an installation week. Initial foundation work, electricity installation and water supply/drainage will also need to be carried out.


From the website, it seems as if these great boxes are only available in the US and Tokyo for now. Will stick to my sustainable timber shed for now.
