Raised Storage, Henley-on-Thames

We constructed a large, flood-resistant shed to replace an inadequate structure that had previously washed away. We had a fairly restricted usable area in which to accommodate the required storage capacity and design elements, such as the veranda.

The size was limited by the tree and a sliding electric gate that runs past the side of the structure.

We also had to contend with sap from the lime tree which destroys most roofing materials.

The small veranda fitted out the storage area, giving the impression that it ran through the tree.
