Architecture Wednesday: A Connecticut Barn

I’ve always aid that I love a good barn, but a barn with an attached silo? Fuggedaboudit.

The original, historic gambrel barn was partially destroyed by a fire, so the owners commissioned architectural firm, Specht Harpman, to reconstruct the exterior, and to redesign the interior for use as a new home.

So, while it still looks like a barn, albeit a new one, on the outside, inside it has become more of an open volume modern, loft-like living space with polished concrete floors, exposed maple framing, and custom woodwork.

Now, to be fair, I tend to like my barns a bit more rustic, a bit more au natural, but this one does have a clean, simple minimal look to it.

Plus, there’s that silo!
