Barns is a practical study of the architecture and design of barn conversions, exploring established vernacular architecture alongside new methods of dividing and ordering space. Barns, like lofts offer the opportunities for open-plan living with high cellings and multi functional spaces and the ability to incorporate a variety of materials - from concrete to straw bales and glass to cobbles, as well as the use of thatch, wood, mud and straw for new builds. Barns includes six chapters on Landscape, Architecture, Materials, Light, Open Spaces and Private Spaces and each one features two case studies of exceptional barn structures. Case studies include a contemporary barn from award-winning architect Anthony Hudson that incorporates traditional beams and brickwork along with poured resin floors and straw-bale walls, a New England connecting barn, and Appalachian log barn and a tobacco barn from the south of America. Barns demonstrates how to create a contemporary dream home that complements the natural landscape and rural tradition as well as modern lifestyles.
