Machine Shop

Traditional Granny Flat or Shed, Seattle

This outbuilding, which was designed to have the appearance of a vernacular outbuilding which had been on the land for some time. Note that mule weather vane (not a horse). All of the timber is reclaimed lumber from a building that was over 100 years old. The exposed rafter tails, which are actually 4x10 beams, reduce the visual scale of the shop, making it appear smaller than it is. The wall surface is hand fit, dry stacked local stone.
