Worrell Yeung’sNorth Salem Farm project is a modern real estate barn house located in Westchester, New York.
Designed to be thoughtfully integrated into the agrarian landscape of Westchester County, the family home is a collection of new and existing buildings, gathered at the narrow, northwest side of an 8.7 acre triangular lot. The project, which was completed in 2022, showcases Worrell Yeung’s interest in expressing architectural volume through a simplification of the elements while echoing and updating the agrarian vernacular.
House B7, a barn-style residence located in the rural village of Brandwijk, Netherlands, is a unique and stunning example of what can be achieved in the most unexpected of places. Designed by VLOT Architecten in 2022, House B7 was built on the foundation of a former cow shed, with a cleverly designed L-shaped orientation that not only frames the striking views of the agricultural landscape, but also creates a sheltered outdoor space.
This light building was constructed with a prefab timber frame and features zinc and wooden cladding, with strategically positioned windows and large horizontal openings to frame the views. With such a beautiful and creative architectural design, House B7 is sure to take your breath away.
Devyni Architektai has created a unique retreat – a man cave in Švenčionys, Lithuania. Built in 2022, this traditional barn-style house features a gable roof and small floor area, as well as a sliding window system which allows to expand the functionality of this cozy place. Local materials were used for construction and decoration, such as wood from the surrounding wood workshops, and craftsmanship from local craftsmen. The interior is simple, but beautiful – plywood material emphasizes the simplicity of the building’s purpose and function.
Located in a picturesque landscape, surrounded by natural meadows, this retreat is the perfect place to escape city noise and enjoy the peace of nature.
