The Shed

SEARCH
Built in 1890, this former industrial building, which was originally built as a farrier’s workshop, has since been used as a workshop, a warehouse and a studio.
A series of insertions that satisfy the needs of contemporary living have been carefully stitched into the simple brick shed. Demonstrating the resilience of its heritage fabric, the building is now a house that speaks of a life lived with an eye for detail and a studied restraint.
Excised from a suburban block, the freestanding building has a number of attributes that informed the project – a long, northern elevation; a double-height volume; lane access; and views over established gardens. In reimagining the shed as a home the designer has made the most of these qualities.
In form, material and arrangement the insertions also take their cues from the original building. A strikingly simple palette that employs materials as both structure and finish is indicative of an inquisitive approach to the making of architecture.
