Household requirements for Erin and I

Imbecilic notes for the new house.

Narrative
Held on the hill, had a few very good seasons and then the bush reclaimed it. Lee Archer VDL store-esk converted to apple shed.

Store has grown as it's uses have evolved. Front warehouse, 3 storey random stone shamelessly lifted from Lee Archers design at Stanley (pictured). Third floor mostly within roof-line. Mostly to Georgian geometry with a few nods to practicality, loft lift higher than ridge line, etcetera. Random stone.































Second building local vernacular. Vertical boards. Two storey (running back up the hill so meeting the upper two storeys of the first structure.













As the collection of commercial buildings devolves into bush, its formality diminishes to the point of a semi detached tractor shed as the site runs up the hill.
