A Decorated Shed
A garden outbuilding by MorenoMasey featuring continuous weathered timber cladding on walls and roof, blending a functional shed with an inviting habitable interior studio space.
- What we like about this project
- The timber cladding wraps continuously over the gable roof ridge without traditional flashing or eaves.
