A tractor shed is probably the last thing you’d expect anyone to toss some design love to. But because these homeowners would be seeing the structure every time they came up the driveway, they wanted something that would catch the eye. They hired Fieldwork Design & Architecture to create something meaningful, and the designers responded with a simple shed that uses standard off-the-shelf materials in an artful way. For example, a basic standing-seam metal roof wraps down to form the structure’s exterior walls, while low-grade plywood panels on the interior are arranged to look like a continuous skin. “From afar it looks like other farm buildings that are in the area,” says architect Cornell Anderson. “But upon closer approach, there’s a level of sophistication that you wouldn’t see in other structures.”
