Reformed Home in a Barn by Sauquet Arquitectes, Barcelona, Spain

Reformed Home in a Barn by Sauquet Arquitectes of Barcelona, Spain is an uncommon yet stunning conversion of a rural barn into a contemporary dwelling space. Embracing the rustic character of the building, the architects focused on interventions that preserve the building´s original materials, yet render it a modern look and feel. The internal spaces are unified with the influences of nature, such as expansive windows that draw the outdoor landscape into the living area, a skylight connecting the indoors with the outdoors, and stone and wooden finishes that recall the building's rural roots. Further features include a spacious open terrace with an outdoor kitchen, expansive gardens, and an atelier that can accommodate guests or family functions. With Sauquet Arquitectes' thoughtful and creative design, the rural barn is now a modern home that retains the building's rural character while offering a unique living experience.
