Secluded on an isolated corner of a farm bordering the Kaimai Mamaku Conservation Park on the North Island of New Zealand is a tiny, single-bedroom hut designed by architect Claire Natusch of Common Space. At first glance, it might appear to be a simple farm building—yet a closer look reveals a carefully crafted retreat that plays off the vernacular of farm sheds and celebrates a simple yet evocative material palette.
