Old Barn Transformed into a Stylish New Home

3 Comments »

I will have to be honest and say that I never thought a barn could be turned into such a beautiful home. It happened in Belgium where architect Rita Huys from Buro2, got her hands on a an old barn in the rolling hills of Central West Flanders, kept its rustic touch but transformed it into a modern home with an elegant and luxurious living space, at the countryside.

The exterior looks simple with an unique character that blends well with the scenery, while at the interior where artist Wim Delvoye worked his magic, style is king. With large glasses that let the light get in easily, with modern furniture, well defined shapes and high quality materials, the verdict is clear. That’s the most beautiful barn I’ve ever seen, and the one I’d sleep in without thinking. – via Wallpaper

Remember the Nature v2.01 Chair by Draw me a sheep posted recently? Well, here are Log Bowls to match! The rustic exterior of real bark is sharply contrasted by the sleek, modern and glossy interiors.  The bowls come in several vibrant colors and look really cool when several are grouped together.

The real log cut-offs were handmade using only reclaimed trees i.e. trees were not deliberately cut down to make the bowls. Rather, fallen trees or trees which had to removed for building, landscaping and so forth, were the source of the raw material. Each hand made bowl was finished with a water-based and furniture grade acrylic paint finish. The designer is Doha Chebib from the Loyal Loot Collective which is based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
