About the
Professional
Inspired by the bucolic history of this great southern land, many of the current designs involve a pallet that is rich in Australian character. Colorbond cladding and Corten are often used which give rise to the Architectural Shed style of design, being sympathetic to the natural landscape in the environments for which they are designed.
