Modern Shed Study

Habanero Architecture was tasked to conduct a design study to reconfigure a pre-manufactured shed and create a conditioned outparcel studio space for a landscape architect. COVID-19 has affected many American families and citizens of the world, making us shift our professional routines to conduction business from home. This study is the perfect opportunity to explore options to accommodate live-and-work spaces for future homes in America.

Location: Apex, NC

The owner required light and views to the north-west. During the winter months the golden hour would become an issue because of the orientation. Therefore our solution was to implement lattice skin on top of the existing pre-manufactured shed.

A barn door mechanism would act as a mobile brise-solei system for such occasions. The shed has been conditioned to be inhabited by insulating the shell and supplying a mini-split system.
