Garden Shed and Workshop

摘要

The narrow site on the north side of the main house was surrounded by high pine trees. The program was a general storage space, space for garden tools, and a small workshop for household repairs. The three-storeyed building is a brick and wooden structure: A wooden framework is suspended inside a brick cylinder, as a tea strainer in a teacup. The two laminated beams holding the interior framework also serve as primary beams for the roof. The structural cnaracteristics of the circular brick wall allowed a thin half-stone masonry (108 mm).
