The brief

A working lot with a house on it, not a house with a garden. Chickens, a nursery and a family of five.

What we did

  1. 01

    Work yard between house and road

    Deliveries and mud stop before the front door.

  2. 02

    A veranda deep enough to work on

    Two and a half metres, so sorting and drying happen in the shade and not in the living room.

  3. 03

    Rainwater off the big roof

    The roof feeds two tanks that carry the nursery through the dry months.
