Depends on your budget, but I really love Fancy's 'cubby coop'
Some hard shopping could land you something big enough for the price of materials to fix up your existing shed. Depends on how savvy you are with tools and landing low cost materials.
Our cubby was $150 'you remove' deal and I could not have made the verandah for those sort of money. I have seen a few converted sheds and they always look like sheds, which is functional and cheap if you already have the shed, but if you are like us and walk out the door and the first thing you see is the coop and want something 'nicer' to loo at you can't go past the cubby option.
I added a couple of perches, a side access door for the girls and hung exterior nest boxes. I go in daily to clean the droppings, but you would make a poop board, or wire the section under the roosts so the dropping fall under the coop where they would be raked out.
I would need to take a closer look at you existing coop to offer much in the way of renovating that one.
If you had something a bit more extravagant, I have seen a fake car coop, and double horse float converted into a coop and brooder shed on wheels, they were pretty cool too. The float was wanted to free range the flock and be able to tow away as they rented the property and didn't want to build a coop to leave behind.
I have a recent pic of ours on my phone.
