The Ãœber Shed is a new work-shed / rural retreat on Victoria?s Mornington Peninsula. The client?s brief was for a functional shed with a work bench area, to house farming equipment, and a simple, attached retreat with a bathroom, kitchenette and sleeping area.

?The client wanted a practical shed for their farm which also included an area he and his family could use when coming to the farm for the day or short visits; an uncomplicated and aesthetically pleasing space which had both the pragmatism of an outbuilding and the appeal of a living space. Furthermore, it had to be sympathetic with, and take advantage of, the amazing surroundings of huge gum trees, native ferns and amazing views looking over the Peninsula? says the architect, Patrick Jost.
Conceptually, the two areas of the building are positioned to form an L shape, taking advantage of the impressive view through the valley to the north. The work area is has two roof pitches, one steeper to suit the photovoltaic panels to provide power to the building. From one aspect, the building is in essence a classic Australian shed clad in galvanized corrugated roof sheet.
