The design of this replacement barn in the architect’s farmstead is rigorous and disciplined. The structure of this modern interpretation is in engineered timber while externally the careful detailing ensures a restrained look in timber with a corrugated roof. An austere interior of concrete floor, exposed dry lining boards and plywood house gives the family a temporary home while work is carried out on their own house. A central core separates the two open ends of the barn with two Dutch-styled stoves to provide the heating.
