Green Olive Barn

Our client approached us with the idea to convert an abandoned animal barn from the early 1900s into a small 3-bedroom house. Chaunte Vaughn Chaunte Vaughn Caption We tried to maintain as much as possible of the existing structure, revealing the existing oak beams, all the while insulating and sealing the envelope well beyond the requirement of energy code to create a comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient modern home. Chaunte Vaughn Chaunte Vaughn Chaunte Vaughn The volume is wrapped with green metal roofing to protect it from the elements, and an extension on the south provides ample space to the master bedroom and a terrace for the living space on the second floor.

Canyon Barn

Set in a pristine open grassland, this project aims to convert a turn of the century working barn into a three bedroom vacation home for a couple seeking refuge from the city. The barn was restored with the intention of retaining much of its original form and character while at the same time developing newer industrial insertions of steel and plywood to contrast with the existing weathered structure. Large diameter raw steel pipes are used as simple utilitarian fire boxes and the old flooring boards of the barn will be left exposed as the finished floor. In many areas the original wood studs are salvaged and rebuilt as exposed stud walls. A blend of preservation and intervention, this project updates an aging barn without losing sight of it... More
