SPACE IS OBSOLETE

About

Hut or Shed is an off-grid structure, situated in the backyard of a home outside of Boston. Standing 8’ wide by 12.5’ deep by 11’ high, its sole purpose is to serve as an outdoor bedroom. Ambiguously minimal in form, it questions the notion of material expression and typologic association - necessitating two finish palette options: one for a shed, and one for a hut. Metal cladding often used in the fabrication of everyday rural sheds is one option, with wood slats more commonly found in snowy nordic regions being another. We suggested Kebony for its rustic tone and beautiful soft gray patina, which would enable the structure to recede into the hardscape.
