01 / The problem

A light-manufacturing shed where the structural grid is left entirely exposed.

No cladding was added to hide the frame, because there was no budget to and no reason to. The portal frame is set out on a rhythm that reads deliberately from the approach road, and the sheeting rails become the elevation's only horizontal line.
