In our continueing search for examples of the incorporation of organic and decayed materials with modern functionality, we present Australian architect Raffaello Rosselli‘s lovely repurposing a corroding tin shed in Sydney to create a small office and studio apartment.
Rather than replace the crumbling structure, Raffaello Rossellichose to retain the rusty corrugated cladding of the two-storey building so that from the outside it looks mostly unchanged. He disassembled and set aside the shed while a new timber frame was erected. Then the layers of corrugated iron were reassembled on three facades.
…
Somehow the clean modern lines of the window frames marry perfectly with the geometry of the rusty corrugated metal.
Inspired and inspiring!
