Architecture Wednesday: Cat Hill Barn

Y’all know I love a good barn conversion, and this one, called Cat Hill Barn, is a favorite because of the rustic 16th century stonework outside and the sleek and shiny interiors.

The renovation was designed to create a flowing open plan that avoided compartmentalization and opened up to reveal the splendor and scale of the original barn and its trusses.

It really is rustic and chic at the same time, plus there’s’ that whole ‘cat’ thing.

Tuxedo would love it.

  1. Maybe it's my Californianess, but this one is depressing to me, inside and out. I feel like I can smell mold and mildew wafting off of it. It is very hard to get that smell off of nose hair.

  3. It's a bit clinical feeling for me, bit overall still love it. The kitchen would have to have some warmth to it for me. There is a house near me I'm dying to get pictures of for you. I old barn years ago sold and the owners did a great conversion of it. One of these days I going to have to get pictures of it. I have the feeling you'd love it.

    Love it. They’ve gone for grey and it suits this place. The rustic and modern feel goes perfectly.

  6. Okay, I give up! I must have lousy taste in architecture, because after the praise of others I looked at the pictures again. Know what? It still depresses me. So I shall shut up now :)

  7. Slick and interesting, but I don't find it at all inviting. I find it very institutional looking and lacking in warmth.

  8. I don't care for everything that was done to it. For example, I would have left the windows as is and the kitchen area is too cold for my tastes. But...my God I love it! That's strictly from an artist's point of view. What I see is a fantastic live-in Studio. I want it!
