Uber Shed 2 Is What Happens When You Build a House Around Your Car Collection – autoevolution

Meet Uber Shed 2, located in Australia, on Mornington Peninsular, Victoria. Its a shed that you can live in, but its also a luxurious retreat that doubles as extra storage facility and display bay for a variety of collectibles, from auto memorabilia to art pieces, motorcycles, RVs and cars. It is the best of what can happen when you commission a house to be built around your car collection.

Completed in late 2019, this 638-square-meter (6,867-square-foot) property is every gearheads dream come true. It includes basic amenities like a bedroom, entertainment room, living room and kitchen, and offers ample space to store and show off an entire collection of machines. Call it a luxurious man-cave and you wouldnt be wrong.

Sure enough, it doesnt come with a private pool, but it does have something that looks like a bathtub-shaped jacuzzi on the rear deck. Or it could be just a uniquely-positioned regular bathtub. Either way, its got that basis covered as well.

The designers, Jost Architects, say that the owner actually wanted an existing shed torn down, in order to have this retreat built. Because the structure was less than 4 years old and still in excellent shape, it was decided to keep it and modify it so as to meet the new standards which included a raised roof that would fit a vintage Airstream bus. Space for model planes, kiddie cars, vintage cars, and WWII army jeeps, as well as art pieces, GI Joes, old signs, signed guitars, and even antique tram ticket dispensers was also made.

The result is a refined, elegant rural retreat, furnished in curated pieces from The History Vintage Antiques, using recycled and sustainable materials, that doubles as a very fascinating private (little) museum.
