Reframe RV Storage / Stanley Office of Architecture

When commissioned to design a storage facility for recreational vehicles, the directive from the client was driven by economy - the building had to generate positive revenue from minimal start-up costs. Our response to this client brief was not to sacrifice quality, but to find opportunity in scarcity. We reimagined the typology of 'storage facility' by rejecting the banal metal-clad box that is commonplace across North America. Freed from this architectural constraint, our structure is designed to be robust and secure yet spacious and light, engaging through sparse detailing and finishes, and regionally grounded through material honesty.
