Maintaining the setback distances suggested by the building department, Sweeney built a garden shed addition that matched the color and architectural detail of the home. It was placed within 10 ft of the rear property line and 15 ft from the side lot line to provide functional access to the shed and built parallel to the fence. Looking at the landscape, the shed was also strategically placed on level ground, away from water collection points, and low branches.

As families grow, the inevitable happens... You continue to get more stuff. Tools, equipment, collectibles and stuff that your significant other wants to get rid of keep adding up. Where does all that stuff go? Unless you live in a mansion, you end up running out of space. Sometimes even adding a shed is not enough. However, we sometimes underestimate the true storage potential of sheds. Did you know all that space by the rafters and back wall is the perfect spot for a loft? Just look at how much stuff you could store in an overhead storage loft. Storage lofts can add up to 40% more overhead storage space. When shopping for the right shed to grow with your family needs, consider adding a loft. It's an economical way of maximizing your sheds true potential.

The remodel is almost complete. Cedar log siding has been carefully applied after garage and shed were structurally adjusted. Next step: door replacement and deck.

For over 100 years, Crane Island has been a summer destination for a few fortunate Minnesota families who move to cooler lake communities for the season. Desiring a return to this lifestyle, owners intend to spend long summer cottage weekends there. The location affords both community & privacy with close proximity to their city house. The island is small, with only about 20 cottages, most of which were built early in the last century. The challenge to the architect was to create a new house that would look 100 years old the day it was finished.
