Horse Shed

A custom horse shed for two horses. All of the timber framing is recyced from an old roof, while the facade is made from rejected hardwood planks. The structure is set in ten concrete footings. The ground is covered with a traditional cobble flooring. The roof is a combination of multiplex and corrugated metal sheets. The shape of the roof ridge is mounted at an angle to the central axis of the shed, creating an interesting symmetry. The shed is split into two parts: the area where the horses live, including a feeding area; and a rear tack room for horseback riding supplies, food and utilities. Design by Mattia Sarda.
