Barn house, conversion design

Historically barns were on the outskirts of cities so they had proximity to deliver goods. The land they occupy is more valuable then the amount derived from farming, so barn houses often get converted into modern houses.

The great age of barns is behind, and today many people work to adapt, preserve these structure with traditional building techniques and new materials, and convert them into modern houses surrounded by spectacular landscapes.

Artists recognized the potential barns provided as a great workspace and started modern conversion designs creating personal retreats. The barn houses and old shed buildings once used for livestock have been transformed into art studios, workshops, theaters and modern houses with open space plans and spacious interior design.
