Sur les terres cultivées de Victoria en Australie, la firme australienne Branch Studio Architects a converti une vieille cabane en maison viable minimaliste et moderne faite de bois. La maison appelée « The Pump House » se situe près d’un lac et possède un intérieur charmant et chaleureux. Une cabane singulière à découvrir.
Dezeen Wire: this week Harrods opened the doors to its first gender-neutral toy department, designed by London and Singapore-based interior architects Shed.
The London department store commissioned the multi-million pound Toy Kingdom to be grouped by theme rather than gender, with new zones including an enchanted forest, a miniature toy world, a circus big top and a sweet shop.
Last year Shed also completed an Art Deco-inspired shoe salon at Harrods. See all our stories about Shed here.

A team of illustrators and graphic artists camped out for a week in this Rococo-style dome hidden under a carpark in Soho, London, covering every surface and arch with a sinister, sprawling illustration for new restaurant and bar Meat Liquor.
Interior architects Shed of London and Singapore commissioned design collective I Love Dust to adorn the walls for food brand Meatailer, which is making the former Italian restaurant its permanent home after touring major festivals in the form of a partying burger van called the Meat Wagon.
Referencing factories and butchers, Shed fitted out the interior with an industrial rubberised floor, an eight metre-long stainless steel bar and blood-coloured banquettes, plus industrial lighting hung from galvanised steel hooks and red cords.
The restaurant opened to the public on 11 November.
Other recent projects by Shed include the Harrods Shoe Salon, and flagship store for fashion brand Spencer Hart.

Here are some more details from Shed:
The Meat Wagon; a legendary food offer known by keen foodies and avid trend forecasters alike. The infamous burger van has globetrotted it’s way around any festival worth mentioning, spearheaded it’s own events and become synonymous with great food, delicious drinks and relentless parties. Now the legend continues, but instead of four wheels, it will be presented in a more permanent fixture.
When interior architects Shed first collaborated with the Meatailer enterprise, a design formula was created that would mean no two establishments would ever be the same; originality and nonconformity are at the heart of the Meat Wagon’s philosophy so all environments had to embody this ethos while taking on their own character.
The concept: to take an idea borne of location and environment and mince that up with the Meat Wagon’s utilitarian ‘no nonsense’ approach – all materials in their raw form, all elements explicit in their function.
Lurking beneath a car park just behind Oxford Street resided the perfect site for Meat Liquor – the Meatailer’s next venture. Previously the site of an Italian restaurant, the site was appropriately kitted out with an impressive Rococo style dome and a mass of ornate columns and architraves. So with this influence the idea came: a modern day mural to make Michelangelo weep, a ’tattoo’ that would envelop and intertwine with the obscurity of the building. A scene that would tell some of the Meat Wagon’s story so far and mutate the classical architecture into something far more appropriate to the Meat philosophy.
Shed commissioned the prolific design collective ‘I Love Dust’ to administer the monumental illustration. in just a week, a team of illustrators and graphic artists camped out on site to adorn as much visible surface as possible, with colourful tales from the Meat Wagon’s past, culminating in an extreme and almost hallucinogenic visual experience.
Red ‘liquor’ signs have been suspended in the windows to splay dull light over the dyed oxblood red, leather banquettes. Industrial cage lamps are hooked and gathered around galvanised steel hooks and suspended over blackened steel framed tables. Red cord is looped from the centre of the dome to reach salvaged industrial work lamps, positioned to highlight poignant images trapped within the trailing mural.
Industrial rubber flooring and an 8-metre long stainless steel bar with corrugated sheet façade resonate the sterility of a factory environment. Occupying the floor is a small army of vintage industrial seating, all powder coated in just two utilitarian colours. A length of ‘butchers’ curtains contains the lower level ‘Pit’; the Meat Liquor’s VIP area where guests can enjoy the thoughts of Hunter S Thompson that adorn the walls.
Shed are delighted to have had this opportunity to venture out of the realms of the corporate world. ‘A project like this comes up once in a lifetime. To have a chance to push boundaries of what may be considered indecent, inappropriate and down right wrong, and to have this concept whole heartedly backed by the client is one in a million. The history of the Meat Wagon has been the driving force behind every aspect of this project but what remains now is an entirely new beast.’

London designers Shed and creative director Nick Hart have completed the new flagship store for fashion brand Spencer Hart, located in a former bank in Mayfair, London.
Garments are displayed on a circular glass table suspended from the ceiling, arranged on long wooden steps and hung from circular apertures in a dividing screen.
A VIP lounge is locked away inside the former bank vault, and is so exclusive that Spencer Hart won’t release pictures of it.
We’ve previously featured Shed’s shoe salon for top London department store Harrods.

SPENCER HART FLAGSHIP LAUNCHES IN MAYFAIR A DESIGN COLLABORATION BETWEEN INTERIOR ARCHITECTS SHED AND NICK HART
After meeting with Shed, Nick Hart – Founder and Creative Director of Spencer Hart knew this was the right team to create his London flagship; This was however just the beginning of a two-year collaboration between the two creatives and the resulting store is the embodiment of the Spencer Hart brand today. Shed’s brief was to manifest Hart’s vision of a mid-century, modern utopia populated by the likes of Sinatra, Warhol and Kerouac, into a fresh and modern retail world for men.
Nick Stringer, Director at Shed says, ‘The Spencer Hart Flagship on Brook Street represents a huge step forward in men’s tailoring and the world of men’s retail. This true design collaboration between us (Shed) and Nick Hart has resulted in a stunning environment which defines and houses the many different ‘worlds’ of Spencer Hart.
Shed are leading experts in designing luxury, retail environments with originality and impact. Their first class credentials are reflected in the creation of flagships, stores, exhibitions and departments for global brands such as Vertu, Harrods, Barbour, Hunter and Nokia. Nick Stringer himself has delivered Miu Miu and Prada flagships worldwide as former Prada Project Director
The Spencer Hart Flagship will be presented within a period Neo-Georgian building, a former bank situated on the corner of Mayfair’s Brook Street. Shed has worked with many of the original features including the opening up of the highly fenestrated windows, impressive entrance Portico and retained the high bank ceilings. In addition the basement vaults are to house a seductive, VIP space (images and narrative not available for release).
The World of Spencer Hart
The different worlds of Spencer Hart have been reflected in the new flagship, with environments for the forward thinking ‘business’ man and Avante Garde ‘architect’. Shed was also briefed to devise spaces that worked commercially for showcasing and selling the new collections of denim, underwear, luggage, shoes and scents.
Nick Hart’s overall vision is a new culture for men’s tailoring where the ‘suiting’ core business is maintained against a backdrop of new product lines; books, films, music and art are presented as integral parts of the World of Spencer Hart and customers are encouraged to browse, purchase or just enjoy.
Spencer Hart Palm Springs
Nick Hart says, ‘The store is about Savile Row and Palms Springs; it began as an out-there reference but has become physical in terms of both store-design and products.
Spencer Hart Palm Springs is the casual wear, the scent – every non-suiting offering which will be at the flagship’.
‘It’s a sub-brand, a whole story and world about Palm Springs’ relationship to Savile Row which I have created. Palm Springs as the world of cool was the epicentre and in some respects it still is. Savile Row will still remain the core of what we do, however we are taking on a lot of new design challenges by applying specific rules to each new product category to deliver credibility across each sector’.
‘An example of this particular inspiration manifesting itself in the design process’ says Shed’s Nick Stringer, ‘is the stunning, handmade sculptured wall that will run through the middle of the store. The wall is constructed from geometric blocks inspired by Palm Springs’ Parker Hotel’.
‘This tessellated, iconic shape has become a 3D object; a mini sculpture and main feature born out of geometry. It is now the backbone to the whole store, the essence of which has now been applied to several elements of the brand.’
Luxurious and Holistic Design
Nick Hart’s underlying vision and iconic cultural references have impacted upon products, interior architecture, colour, shape, atmosphere and packaging. An abstract glass watch case sits on terraces of soft suede, adding a swath of luxury to every corner of the space;
A period, fibrous plaster ceiling finish, completes the modern delivery of a classic texture – punctuated by high performance luminaires.
The collaboration with Nick Hart has also become an opportunity for Shed to work in a holistic manner; For example the team were further commissioned to create a series of packaging, of which the visual iconography derives from ideas first explored within the design of the space. Stringer says, ‘This (brand work) was an unconventional route of ‘brand’ following ‘interior’ but the iconic mark, gleaned from the feature wall helps packaging and interior deliver a holistic vibe of mid-century cool. We are fortunate to have had a design hand in almost everything in the flagship’.
Hart says, ‘The Spencer Hart universe is an edited version of a world that doesn’t really exist. It’s a world I put out there ten years ago and was very much to do with the relationship between black American musicians and the United Kingdom’.
‘It’s the ultimate men’s world of design cool inhabited by various male icons from different eras – Miles, Bowie, Sinatra, Hopper and Warhol that have shaped rightly or wrongly, the modern concept of hip masculinity’.

SHED CREATE NEW HARRODS SHOE SALON
With a portfolio that includes luxury retail brands Vertu, Prada, Spencer Hart and Hunter, Interior architects Shed had all the right credentials when approached by Kurt Geiger to re-design the prestigious Harrods Shoe Salon.
Shed wanted the design of the department to be synonymous with everything that Harrods stands for.
They have created a dramatic space with a real sense of expectation which customers experience from the moment they arrive.
The aesthetic draws inspiration from Art Deco and combines classicism with the spirit and true glamour of the Golden Era.
This can be seen in every element of the environment, in the materials, colours, lighting and furniture as well as the architectural treatment of the space as a whole; Sorbet coloured marbles, solid brass fixtures and lacewood veneers are feminine and luxurious.
The floor is a sleek, sparkling ice blue, glass composite, punctuated by Guggenheim inspired brass trims that make sweeping curves and statement lines.
The Shoe Salon will carry 80 brands and a total of around 3500 shoes within its 15,000sqft; Service and experience were the key factors Shed needed to consider.
From personal consultation to making a purchase all from the comfort of a seat, Shed used their skill in retail design and Kurt Geiger’s knowledge of service to develop a department that would both excite and entice the customer.
Furnished areas will play a big part in this customer experience.
Shed chose soft carpeting and specially commissioned George Smith to produce one-off pieces of furniture in bold prints, hand made Chinoise embroidery and feminine ice-cream colours – adding to the drama and luxury of this exquisite space whilst encouraging customers to linger in very beautiful and elegant surroundings.
A magnificent 30m light feature stretches above the main area, creating a real sense of place to the department.
A colonnade of chandeliers dropping low into the space shapes the new walkway and below each a bespoke fixture will preview the newest and most popular collections.
