The Shed - 1986
Hyperbolic Paraboloidal Roof
This was a substantial structure that could support a lot of weight - a shed-opening party was held on the roof!
The Top of The Tower
The compass shows true North and 10deg divisions. The tree is growing through a flexible collar in the roof
Front of the Shed
On the left is the top of the curved staircase leading up to the circular tower with its 3D curved-arch doorway. The ends of the straight joists forming the hyperbolic paraboloidal roof are also visible.
