Moth Design has put together a group of creative thinkers to use the very public space of Federation Square to present the suburban shed; with a twist. In The Shed will serve as a rminder, a conversation and a metaphor for suburbia, community and the great Australian dream.

A series of eight DIY flat-pack sheds will be aligned down the steps of Federation Square, glinting in the sun, perfectly spaced, egalitarian in their very nature, just like the visible houses alongside the freeways as you head out of the city.

Each shed appears the same from theoutside. However, as you open each door, you glimpse a private moment in the life of the owner.

Contents and meaning vary: from build-your-own DIY icons, drills and other building tools that are flat-packed and ready to be constructed to a set of cards, for a DIY life, with instructions for every element of your life.

Each interior represents a different in terpretation of DIY culture, past and present.
