Nationwide, Americans are turning to structures such as the barn
with a mind to renovating them to fit the lifestyles of today,
redesigning these often-wonderful places of the past into
residential spaces. At Home in the American Barn embraces the dream
to slow things down and return to basics and shares some success
stories, as made plain by the buildings themselves. This richly
illustrated volume focuses on the barn as home. Each of the
structures featured has been adapted from its original utilitarian
purpose to allow for comfortable, joyous living. Built at first as
places for work, barns nevertheless often demonstrate fine
craftsmanship and artistry. This volume emphasizes the rare beauty
of these structures and shows throughout elegant solutions for
living in these beautifully imagined homes. Soaring rafters here
allow for dramatic chandeliers in one home or a wall of magnificent
bookcases in another. Spaces that are unconventional in a
traditional domestic sense here serve as springboards for
inspiration that allow for, in one home, a spiral staircase of
fantasy made from hand-planed wood, and, in another, a wall of
glass that lets in the sun. The American Barn shows the way that
this can be done successfully and artfully.
