Last updated on · ⓘ How we make our designs
See how dark modern barn forms, cedar, glass, and practical outdoor spaces make room for gardens, fire nights, and the occasional overdone marshmallow.
We shaped these barndominiums from the straightforward charm of farm buildings, then gave them a darker, cleaner modern finish. Cedar entries and broad glass keep the black gables from becoming too stern.
Notice how each layout extends beyond the walls. Gravel loops, fire courts, terraces, and raised beds make the grounds feel useful, not just pretty.
Watch the small connections between house and garden. There is always room for tomatoes, chairs, and one marshmallow that gets a little too confident.
