The shed's design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The A-frame structure is highly efficient, providing maximum interior space with a minimal footprint. The use of pre-fabricated trusses allowed for a quick and efficient construction process. The exterior cladding materials are durable and low-maintenance, making them ideal for the region's harsh climate. The Shou Sugi Ban cladding also adds a touch of traditional Japanese craftsmanship to the design.
The client requested a communal gathering space at the entrance of the shed. We designed a covered entrance that reiterates the lines of the roof but also provides protection from the weather. The sides are left open, with copper-clad fins standing side by side to create a kaleidoscopic effect of nature and sunlight bouncing off one another to create an interesting ambiance.
