"The original exterior of the barn was preserved, featuring rusted corrugated metal cladding, while the interior was transformed into a compact and modern weekend retreat."
"This home operates much bigger than its 480 square feet. Its design includes a sleep loft and two porches that connect the structure with its natural surroundings."
Architect Steve McDowell has transformed a dilapidated hay barn in Overbrook, Kansas, into a remarkable weekend retreat while preserving its rustic charm. This barn, part of his wife Mary Anne's family farm since 1961, has been redesigned with a sensitive approach: the exterior remains authentic, featuring the original rusted corrugated metal, while the interior is modernized into a cozy living space of 480 square feet. Added porches and a sleep loft enhance the connection to nature, suitable for tranquil escapes away from urban life.
