We came across these beautiful pictures of a house in Belgium and, although its European, we could easily see this fitting into the rural New England landscape. Forget the farmhouse—lets go straight for the barn...

Designed by Belgian architectural and interior design office BURO II/BURO Interior, the barn renovation was carried out with a few specific design requirements from the client: that tradition, innovation, and respect for the landscape be combined into a single project. We think these requirements should always be taken into account but let's let the results speak for themselves...

The exterior maintains a vernacular appearance while sophisticated pneumatic folding screens can both close the large expanses of glass or create defined exterior porches. The interior becomes a sleek neutral backdrop showcasing the beautiful landscape views. We would love to see more of this happening on our side of the pond.
