The Coolest Barn You'll Ever See






Wallpaper Magazine a while back did a feature on this homestead, and it's clear why. This may just be one of the best housing concepts that I've ever seen. I love the idea of taking something like a barn, something so common and unassuming and turning it into a contemporary living space. A true example of architecture providing a physical and emotional connection to the surrounding landscape. The clean, simple and defined lines of the exterior blend well with the cathedral style interior using floor to ceiling glass windows, modern furniture and a crisp color palette. Love the fact that you get so much natural light and feel so connected to the outdoors.

The Barn House is located in Belgium, and the architect is Rita Huys.
