You don’t have to be an architect to want to build your own bamboo structure thanks to the “Zome Building Kit” from Giant Grass! The studio has made a DIY kit that is essentially a larger-than-life LEGO project that can live in your own backyard or scale to create a community space. A “Zoom” is a flexible space that kids can use to hang out in the backyard, like a gazebo to entertain guests in, a greenhouse for seedlings, a creative space in the office, a quiet space for yoga at home, or a plush tent — it could be anything you want. This DIY kit is perfect for those who want to live sustainably and enjoy working on projects that lead to rewarding success.
Parsonson Architects created Herald Garden Studio – a functional, flexible, free-standing structure that measures 183 square feet and sits in your backyard to accommodate all those growing pains! The studio has an office space, bathroom, storage space in the back, play area and a guest bed in the loft above the stairs. The loft is a private and cozy corner and has a mesh panel in the front for child/pet safety. The studio has a number of windows on the upper floor to let in natural light. Wooden beams installed in a triangular arrangement make the structural frame work and to keep costs down, the walls are covered with formaldehyde-free strand board (OSB).

Cellars have been used throughout the ages to store food or even act as shelters in case of natural disasters. Groundfridge takes this design a step further by adding a fresh food refrigerator to the game. The trick Groundfridge uses is to take advantage of the ground’s natural insulating ability and cooler night air temperatures. The balance of this design allows you to store vegetables, fruits, cheese and even wine all year round. To ventilate this project, use a fan with a timer that renews cool air during the night. Here’s a sustainable underground refrigerator for your back garden!
