Contrasting heavy timber against concrete and steel, this barn combines modern and traditional methods of construction to create warm, modern, and durable spaces. An honest and simple interior tells the story of how the building was made. The structure has a stair tower capped with a light-shaft that reaches past the roof with views to the sky. Varied spatial volumes are integral to this experience of the building, and the landscape playfully joins in this expression, undulating up and down.
