Grigor Two

2024

Positioned 1.2 kilometres from Moffat Beach, this industrial site sits in a coastal pocket with prevailing breezes and a subtropical climate. The design takes advantage of those conditions through deep overhangs to manage sun and rain, translucent roof sheeting for even natural daylight, and a restrained material palette that echoes the warmth and openness of Queensland's coastal vernacular.

HM Developments' brief was to maximise two tenancies on the south-facing site. Cantilevered mezzanine levels with deep balconies provide overlook and create street depth; slender columns give the upper volume a light, floating feel; hanging planters soften edges with greenery. A simple material palette of Cemintel Territory Woodland Birch cladding, stone texture, weatherboard, and exposed concrete delivers durability and clarity.

Internally, stone benchtops, timber veneer joinery, and precise fittings create clean, functional spaces.

Grigor 02 shows how thoughtful subtropical design can make hardworking sheds feel composed, contextual, and quietly refined.
