This is the shed I built last winter. My wife calls it the Biltmore shed because it’s built better than the house itself. Matches the basic look of the house.
I did all the carpentry and had a mason do the brick and concrete floor.

Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

Very nice. It looks like you set the door frame out so that the doors wouldn't hit against the brick when opened wide. Is that so? Good foresight.
Yes, that is so. It ended up costing a bit more because I need to use a 2x8 jamb to get the doors out that far, but the doors do lay flat against the brickwork.
Looks nice
Very nice.
I like the roof overhang that extends beyond the brick on all sides.
Depending upon where you are, that overhang combined with the doors being mounted high will probably allow doors to clear the snow in the winter, even if you mount a ramp on there.
The foundation is high enough to deal with 'splash back', which is a shed-killer.
Also like the overkill with all those metal ties inside.
Good design.
