This standout home workshop is a purpose-built lifestyle space that goes far beyond a typical shed. It was specially designed to meet the unique needs of the client and has been recognised as the 2025 COLORSTEEL® Lifestyle Building of the Year.
The client reached out to Coresteel North Harbour wanting more than just a workshop, they wanted a fully functional office space with a safe place to work on and securely store vehicles. The brief called for:
- A custom workshop space capable of storing multiple vehicles
- Multiple bays to keep many cars and provide practical workflow
- Strong materials to last in New Zealand’s tough conditions
- A building that seamlessly fits on the property, complementing the house
Every aspect of the design prioritised usability without compromising on looks.
Quality Products & Thoughtful Specification
To deliver both performance and aesthetics, the build incorporates premium materials and smart design features:
- COLORSTEEL® roofing and cladding – made for New Zealand’s weather, offering long-lasting colour and corrosion resistance that enhances both durability and appearance.
- Multiple fully enclosed bays – perfect for storing cars, machinery and equipment.
- Engineered to last – The trusted strength that Coresteel is known for.
Every element was chosen to ensure the workshop is not only functional but also built to last.
