Worhshop / Office Designs in Bendigo

Here i drove around Bendigo trying to find different examples of office fronts attached to a Portal Frame shed. I ended up finding quite a range of different facades which shows that you can dress up a shed however you like. Some of the sheds i believe had facades that reminded me of residential type buildings which i found interesting. Well these are the examples that i felt demonstrates the range of facades that i found.
