Design & Site Considerations

Original Barn (circa 1889) was lifted and lowered onto a new concrete foundation in a previous phase. Wood framed barn was left in poor condition.

Site and Building Design challenge to keep the authentic rural nature of the site and building while opening it to the public.

Interior design of multipurpose space that allows for a variety of uses including reception space and flexible performance space.

Authentic preservation and restoration of exterior elements including historic windows and doors while interfacing with new design elements of the modern entry and restroom addition.
