The Shed Healdsburg

Envisioned as a contemporary grange, where people come together to share food, stories and local knowledge, this modern interpretation of the traditional barn typology houses a market café, mercantile store, and meeting space. Sustainability is central to the design, which incorporates a resource-efficient prefabricated metal structure, thermally-efficient insulated metal panel cladding, and naturally ventilated interior. Glazed garage doors on two levels open up the interior to the outdoors, connecting occupants to the urban life in front, and to the restored creekside riparian habitat along the building’s west façade.
