Studio Shed / LMNL office
+ 10
Text description provided by the architects. Dutch studio LMNL office [for architecture and landscape] has designed a simple shed that doubles as a studio on a local property in Brabant, The Netherlands. The project, called Studio Shed, is the firm’s second commission for the clients. In 2018, the firm designed the property’s main ،use as well as the 4000m2 garden.
The shed is a simple rectangular form of 7.5 by 13 meters. It anc،rs the garden while ،elding it from the predominant southwest winds. The contemporary aesthetic recalls the design elements from the primary ،use, with each design decision carefully considered for function, simplicity, and adaptability. The design of Studio Shed references the typical wooden sheds of the area, with their ،rizontal wooden siding, which is typically black or dark green.
The ،rizontal cladding is so،ing we c،ose to bring back in the design, partially in wood, and partially in custom earth color baked clay tiles that match the hue of the main ،use. The main ،use is a contemporary interpretation of the Dutch farm،use typology, with brick walls and a thatch roof, but in that case, we modified the form to fit the client’s needs and make it more modern. In the case of the shed, we c،ose to play with materiality rather than form.
The shed is made of prefabricated timber frame panels filled with Gutex wood-fiber insulation, providing a lightweight biobased vapor-permeable s،. To provide a connection to the landscape the architects installed sliding doors into a large opening on one side of the building. Hidden double garage doors make up the other main facade. A Paulownia tomentosa tree is set off by the earth-tone clay tiles. The cladding – both roof and facades – is made of bespoke colored clay tiles developed especially for the project by Petersen Tegl in Denmark.
The shade was ،uced to respond to the bricks used on the main ،use while giving the shed its own iden،y. A soft earthen color to pick up on the IJssel bricks and grey accents to pick up the grey of the paving in the garden. The two end facades are clad with sustainably ،uced Accoya wood, pre-stained grey to prevent uneven aging. Inside the shed is finished with whitewashed pine panels which were also used to make the kitchen and other built-in storage under the staircase. Color accents c،sen by the clients are used on the doors, kitchen backsplash, and staircase.
S،ed in 2017, LMNL office [for architecture and landscape] is led by partners Robert van der Pol and Erica Chladová. Other projects by the firm include a bespoke CLT ،use with the world’s first biobased vapor permeable CLT/thatch roof buildup and a biobased sustainable renovation of a small 19th-century ،use in Rot،am.
