The design behind it

You can open this exact home right now.

Weymouth was built from Shed Home #03 — the same design sitting in the series today, with a live 3D model, a floor plan and a published kit price. Open it, move a wall, and it becomes yours instead.

The build

Slab to keys, in photographs.

No renders in this section. Six stages, in the order they happened, shot on site.

Steel members laid out across the finished concrete slab at Weymouth, ready to be raised — The kit, unwrapped on the slab

A slab, and a kit on it

The kit arrives flat-packed and gets laid out on the finished slab. Columns first — pre-punched, bolted to cast-in base plates set out from the same model the plan came from.

The first portal columns standing on the slab against a clear sky — Columns up

The complete galvanised portal frame skeleton of Shed Home #03 standing against a blue sky — The whole frame, standing

Portals up, and it has a shape

Columns and rafters bolt together into portal frames, then get tied together with purlins and girts. This is the point where a plan stops being a drawing.

Looking up through the portal rafters and roof purlins from inside the frame — Rafters and purlins, from underneath

The steel mezzanine floor framing installed inside the portal frame, seen from the ground floor — Mezzanine framing in

A second floor, in steel

The mezzanine is part of the structure, not an addition to it — bearers land on the portal columns, so the floor below stays open. Roof sheeting goes on over the top.

Mezzanine floor bearers being installed from a scissor lift inside the frame — Bearers, from the lift

Two workers standing on the ridge of Shed Home #03 as the roof sheeting goes on — Two on the ridge

Shed Home #03 at lock-up seen from the street — clad, roofed, windows in — Lock-up, from the street

Cladding, and then lock-up

Cut-to-length wall and roof cladding goes straight on the girts and purlins. Openings were framed and scheduled back at the model, so the windows fit the holes.

Wall cladding being fixed to the gable end from a scissor lift — Cladding the gable

The clad gable end of Shed Home #03 with the main opening still open — Clad, opening still open

Internal partition framing standing inside the completed steel shell — Partitions inside the shell

Everything else happens inside

From lock-up the build is a normal build: partitions, services, linings, kitchen. The difference is that none of it is holding the house up, so the layout was free to be whatever the family wanted.

Inside Shed Home #03 at lock-up with the mezzanine deck down and windows installed — Inside at lock-up

The plastered double-height void of Shed Home #03 with highlight windows — The void, plastered

The kitchen joinery being installed against the bare slab — Kitchen going in

The finished Shed Home #03 exterior — timber-clad gable, glass balustrade and upper deck — Finished, from the front

And then somebody lives in it

Timber-lined gable, glass balustrade, a stair up to the mezzanine and a double-height living space under the ridge. Same building. Same kit.

The timber and steel stair rising to the mezzanine inside the finished home — The stair up

The furnished living room of the finished home with the fireplace wall — Living

The finished kitchen island with stools, looking out to the deck — Kitchen

What Weymouth shows

Four claims you can check against the photos.

Everything we say about the system on the rest of this site is visible somewhere in the sequence above.

The kit is the whole shell

Frame, roof, walls, flashings, fasteners. Between the slab photo and the lock-up photo, nothing arrived that wasn’t on the packing list.

A small crew raises it

Portal frames go up in bolted pieces. What you can see on site through the frame stages is a couple of people and a scissor lift.

The structure is not the layout

The portals carry the building, so the internal partitions went in afterwards, wherever the family wanted them — including a double-height void through the middle.

A mezzanine is structure, not an add-on

The upper floor lands on the portal columns. That is why the ground floor underneath it is open.

What's behind it

More are on the way.

Other MBA projects are moving through documentation, engineering and assessment. We don't publish them: they're other people's homes, they're not approved yet, and a map of pins nobody can verify isn't evidence of anything.

As each one breaks ground and its owners are happy for us to, it lands on this page the same way Weymouth has — photographed, stage by stage, from the slab.
