A Decorated Shed
A garden outbuilding precedent featuring continuous vertical weathered timber cladding wrapping roof and walls, creating a seamless shed studio opening to a landscaped lawn.
- What we like about this project
- The timber cladding wraps uninterrupted up the walls and across the gabled roof surface, creating a monolithic volume effect.
