Storage Barn by Gray and Organschi Architecture

Posted by Alex in Architecture, Home & Garden, Pictures on July 14, 2009 at 7:33 pm

This ain’t your father’s backyard shed – take a look at Storage Barn, a workshop and storage facility designed by Elizabeth Gray and Alan Organschi of the firm Gray and Organschi Architecture. The spatial arrangement of the storage area around the outside of the building gives it a fascinating texture:

The building serves as a dimensionally economical and energy efficient storage rack for heavy materials, in which tightly packed and palletized stone and wood are stored in a flexible external shelving system that allows access to any pallet in any position on the rack without disturbing others around it.
