SHED STUDIO

Tenby Point | Westernport | Bunurong Country

Originally designed for two cars, this shed becomes a comfortable open plan studio for two creative professionals, with loads of natural light and insulation, and a recycled brick floor.  

The existing structure is newly clad in weathering steel to transform into a garden element and the interior is complete with hardwearing, textured materials providing protection from the elements, including a raised floor above the recently experienced flood line.

Windows have patterned glass, providing informal privacy for the interior while maintaining natural daylighting and visual connections to outside.
