Situated in a domestic garden in Hackney, the ?shed? acts as a workspace and studio for the clients. Built to a limited budget and timescale, the simple aesthetic of the materials is celebrated to create a functional and warm urban haven. Oak framed full-height doors are completely retractable and allow for a clear view of the garden. A library, situated within the structural members, maximises the usable floor area, and a ?hidden? rooflight at the rear of the space playfully frames an unexpected glimpse of the sky.
