1. ROOF SLOPE If the butterfly wings are the big design "move", might they be even stronger, higher, bolder to "read" from the street?
2. WATER COLLECTION Since the water will be streaming down the "front" of the shed and must be deflected from being right over the door, do you want to make more of a feature of the gutter and collector system? Might you exaggerate the scale with the rationale that sometimes it rains very hard for a short period, and you do not want to lose any.
3. WINDOW Clerestory (also "clearstory", does not matter) windows. Might they not go all the way around, so that the "box" of the shed is quite a primary form (almost a cube) and the glass floats the roof (much like that first photo) where the structure was all hidden inside by the reflection of the glass (pretty cool clarity of the different elements and materials.
4. GROWTH UP THE WALLS Espalier on the shed walls - does not the framework for the climbing plants become an important formal element? Might help you order the scale of the solid panels.
ELEVATIONS -
