Set within a 120 hectare working dairy, The Cosmic Cow Shed was constructed as a private residence for a young family.
As a celebration of local farm buildings, The Cosmic Shed has been found confronting by many who arrive looking for a conventional house.
The residence is built within one main shed and a series of annexes which create an elongated U-shape.
The building layout and raised central skillion roof, allows for substantial cross-ventilation in summer and solar penetration in winter.
