Donderen Barnhouse II
The Netherlands, 2009. Schuurhuis II Donderen. Massive wooden barn house which shape puts you on the wrong track.
Situation
Beautiful site with poor old farm house in need of a newbuild house.
Target
Create a house that reflects the heritage of the site and at the same time encourages modern life to settle down.
Action
Think of massive wood panels and use large dimensions and its self-supporting capabilities to create a spatial open structure. Rethink the traditional barn shape: make it wide and short in stead of wide and long, thus providing a perfect privacy solution.
Result
A new shape of barn, made with interesting new materials. A very open shape with lots of character. Due to its unusual shape, the house forms a perfect filter between the public east side and the private west side of the site.
