timber shop


Timber Shop is an open-air woodworking space that reuse a pre-existing garden shed. The project utilized the existing concrete foundation and a stem wall as the anchor for a new cantilevered timber-framed roof that shelters a flexible workspace below. The new structure was built from locally sourced timber—including material sourced and milled directly on-site. This design approached eliminating the need for ground disturbance, minimizes new materials use, and reduces landfill waste.
