The New “Old Barn”
An energy-efficient makeover transforms this outbuilding into an exercise studio, office, and parking space.
Using familiar forms and materials, this building fits right in on the farm, with a modern twist. Tractor bays, haylofts and bedding stalls are replaced with an exercise studio, office, and parking for two cars. All powered by the solar panels on the roof.

Why not call it 'home'?
It looks awesome. Mechanization on the farm, better transportation infrastructure, and new technology like a hay fork mounted on a track contributed to a need for larger, more open barns, sawmills using steam power could produce smaller pieces of lumber affordably, and machine cut nails were much less expensive than hand-made
Wonderful I like the creativity. Thank you.
Nice Architecture.
