Shed Style refers to a style of architecture that makes use of single-sloped roofs (commonly called "shed roofs").
The style originated from the designs of architects Charles Willard Moore and Robert Venturi in the 1960s.[1] Their works were influential to the style that would include the Sea Ranch in California (Moore),[2] and the Vanna Venturi House (Venturi). Shed style architecture became very popular in the 1970s and 1980s.[3]
Characteristics
Common stylistic features of shed style include overall asymmetrical with strong lines, one to two story height, and seamless roof and wall movement[4]
