The Swift Organisation Ltd
This gorgeous detached garden room in Wilmslow boasts Indossati flooring, wood panelling, two sets of bi-folding doors with integral blinds, a cloakroom & WC, and exquisite lighting features to complement the beautiful gardens. It was all built and complete in 2 weeks much to our client’s delight, and as with all of our buildings, is highly insulated for year-round use.

The owners, a young couple and avid gardeners, expressed needs for a dual-use structure for parking in winter/fall and a potting shed during spring/summer to be executed for $3,000.
The initial concept was defined by off-the-shelf components and form derived from site constraints and necessities. Budget was met by the architect constructing the design. With a modest material palette order becomes the detail and functions of gardening define the form.
The material palette is 2×6 pine, corrugated fiberglass, welded wire mesh, cast-in-place reinforced concrete, used railroad ties and standard framing connectors. Material assemblies are expressed as distinct layers. Order of assembly is celebrated. Wood joists extend beyond the structure; welded wire mesh extends beyond the joist dissolving the building’s edge and future vegetation will consume the structure blurring the boundary between the built and natural.
The structure is situated to maximize direct south light. Bents are constructed of sistered 2x6s and set at 11deg angles to optimize light to the adjacent garden and shed rainwater for rain barrel collection. The railroad tie platform serves as staging or seating for dining. Joists are set at 12”o.c. and fastened with hurricane ties. Three layers of 6”x6” welded wire mesh overlap to create a density yet remain open for light and to train vegetation growth.

Opad
The scale of the carport and the slope of the roof were kept relatively low to avoid overshadowing the main residence. The carport's roof's large overhang projecting above the existing brick wall, curving away and partially screening the existing residence, creates a spatial relationship between these three elements, uniting the old and the new, and erasing the lap in time.
Concetti
The original concept for this space came from the idea that this modern glass greenhouse would be built around an old wooden shed still standing beneath the trees. The "shed" turned Powder Room would of course be new construction, but clever materiality - white washed reclaimed vertical panelling - would make it appear as though it was a treasure from many years before.
Acorn Deck House Company
With a grand total of 1,247 square feet of living space, the Lincoln Deck House was designed to efficiently utilize every bit of its floor plan. This home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two-car detached garage and boasts an impressive great room, whose soaring ceilings and walls of glass welcome the outside in to make the space feel one with nature.
