Jeffery Broadhurst’s Shack at Hinkle Farm

This lovely little shack is built by Architect Jeffery Broadhurst for his family in a 27-acre mountaintop property in West Virginia.

 

Built by himself, friends and neighbors, using off-the-shelf materials. Board-and-batten siding and a standing-seam, terne-coated steel roof sit atop a wood platform. A ladder unhitches and swings down, providing access to the entry door. Oil lamps provide light and a woodstove heats the space. Hand-powered, gravity-fed plumbing system, and water is heated using the woodstove. Rainwater from the roof supplies the outdoor shower. The front wall is an overhead-acting aluminum and glass garage door, opening to a cantilevered deck.

    Dont you think its interesting what a difference a name makes?
    If you or I built this, with exactly the same fixtures, doors and love,
    it would be called “that weird shack ”
    But of course this is Jeffery Broadhursts’ Shack at Hinkle Farm.
    THIS = LOAD
