Repeatedly told to demolish the barn which sat on their new horse farm, the owners just couldni’t let this traditional barn go. The 1800s New River Bank Barn seemed to have such great potential that they searched for an architect that could transform it into the dream barn renovation they wanted. Blackburn Architects, specializing in adaptive reuse and renovation, took on the project and turned the sagging barn into a beautiful modern adaptation with ample daylighting and rustic features that reflect its previous use.
Blackburn Architects wanted to keep the original rustic feel of the barn h— but wanted to add to its structure to ensure the buildinge’s ability to provide comfort and warmth for its inhabitants. Original barn walls were used as the interior paneling, with a layer SIPs for insulation and stability, plus an exterior layer of new board-and-batten for the cladding. The original roof became the interior ceiling and a new roofing layer was added on top for extra insulation and protection. Reclaimed wood from other structures on the property was also used in the renovation of the barn.
