Architecture Wednesday: West Yard Farm

Y’all know I love a barn, and this one, a renovation of a 19th century country house and its granaries in the middle of Dartmoor National Park in southwest England is one of my favorites.

The entire property, the home and barn and outbuildings, were in need of repair and renovation, with the idea of creating a large family home by combining the main house, the barn via new, contemporary glass extension. The farmhouse now has 4 bedrooms, a living room, a dining room, and a spacious and bright kitchen within the attached glass space, while the old milking parlor is a self-contained guesthouse.

I love the old stone buildings combined with the sleek modern glass extensions and boxes, to create a rustic, open, bright space.

My mom always said I should have been born in a barn because I always leave the doors open and this would be the perfect barn for me.
