In July 2017, the SHED concept was unveiled by a team of London designers and Lowe Guardians, a property management company. The radical new design concept is intended to provide an alternative to central London’s high rental rates for young people. It also seeks to reassess vacant space and how it can provide a sustainable approach to affordable living in city centres.

Lowe Guardians offer property guardianship options for young professionals, at the same time providing low-cost security solutions for property owners.

They have teamed up with Studio Bark, an architectural practice that delivers cost-conscious environmental architecture.

The SHED concept comprises a modular building system that can be constructed in a day within an otherwise abandoned property, creating a high-quality, affordable accommodation unit.

Each SHED takes one day to build and is made of lamb’s wool insulation, oriented strand board (OSB), and recycled polyester. The SHEDs come in varying sizes but start at around 120 sq ft.

As a flexible solution for the short term, and a responsible solution for the long term, the SHED provides an environmentally friendly, self-contained solution for each individual Guardian. It takes a day to dismantle and can be rebuilt on another premises which minimises waste. It can also be decorated or changed by the occupying Guardians.

Studio Bark first came into the public eye when their sustainable, private home ‘Periscope House’ was featured on Channel 4’s Grand Designs.

Recent research conducted by Lowe Guardians found that there are currently 600,000 empty properties across the UK that could be used for temporary residency using the new SHED solution. This includes thousands of prime sites in central London.

Tim Lowe, Director, Lowe Guardians, said:

“The vacant buildings we assess can vary hugely in both condition and function. Sometimes the sheer or size or layout of properties means we are unable to take them on. Derelict warehouses remain a huge, untapped potential for us that could benefit Guardians and property owners alike.

“However, the reality is that turning vast, open spaces into private rooms for Guardians has always been both tricky and time consuming. Our aim is to help London professionals and keyworkers as much as we can and this means taking on larger vacant buildings that offer huge potential for providing quality accommodation.

“The SHED concept provides a safe, sustainable alternative for workers seeking short-term accommodation. In every site we occupy, we fit the spaces out to a habitable standard but this has historically created a considerable amount of waste; both financially and environmentally. We were looking for a solution which allowed us to much more creative with the space, and take everything with us when we went onto the next site.”
