BIG.SHED.HOUSE
105 Glen Huon Rd, Huonville
BOOKINGS OPEN AT 12 PM ON FRIDAY, 11 OCTOBER 2024
Architect: Perversi-Brooks Architects (2016)
BIG.SHED.HOUSE is an alterations and additions to a great, big 100-year-old apple shed, designed as boutique self-contained short-stay accommodation. The house sits on a hill near the Huon River, on a gently sloping site planted with native vegetation, and adjacent to the client’s (an author/artist) studio.
Key to the success of the project was an economic build undertaken by the client as an ‘owner builder’ to add value to the property by adaptive re-use of what was a derelict shed, to provide a passive income stream whilst focusing on other creative pursuits.
Open: Sunday 10 November, 1.30pm – 4pm (registration required)

![Open House Hobart and the Emerging Architects and Graduates Network (EmAGN) Tasmania @emagn_tas would like to thank everyone who kindly bid in this year's annual Sheltered [Ground] Silent Auction.
We watched the last-minute bidding war on some items (looking at your chair, @other_furniture_) with absolute glee; because, together, you helped raise over $8000 for the Hobart Women's Shelter @hobartwomensshelter. Legends. THANK YOU!!
If you missed out on an item, but you'd still like to support HWS, please head to the link in bio to make a donation. Your financial help plays a critical role in supporting service delivery and therapeutic programs, and fund strategic projects such as building long-term homes. Such programs provide opportunities for women and children to lead independent and fulfilling lives.
Finally, congratulations to those who outbid everyone else – enjoy your beautiful pieces, knowing there's a string of jealous individuals who missed out. Don't worry! We'll do it all again next year.
