Shops have to work as hard as the people in them. For this project, that meant building an workshop that could handle the wear and weather of a real working space without ever looking tired. Steel was the obvious answer, and it’s a material we know how to install cleanly.

On the outside, we installed the steel roof first to get the building dried in, then wrapped the walls in matching steel siding with all the trim and flashing details properly tied off. Inside, we ran steel across the ceiling and up the walls — a finish that wipes clean, throws light around the space, and holds up to whatever the shop gets used for.
