The form and direction of the red box on the upper level is derived from the neighbouring boat building shed. However the seaward and cantilevered projecting end of the red box is cut-of at an oblique angle to offer views to the larger bay and open sea beyond. The red corrugated metal cladding was chosen as it is the common material used traditionally on sheds in the countryside.
