The Love Shack is a built prototype for material reuse, design for disassembly (DfD), and small-scale functionality. Its conceptual framework is governed by resource efficiency and experimentation. The core philosophy centres on minimising waste while maximising lifespan in an effort to re-frame predetermined conceptions of how salvaged materials should look and perform.

Functionally, the studio space has the ability to transform from a bedroom to a living room to an office space providing a flexible extension to the existing family home. The facade facing the existing house includes operable solid doors which allow for privacy when closed and when open, allow the pavilion to feel like an extension of the back yard.
