Set within the exclusive mountainside community of Starwood, Barn Studio is part of a family compound that will eventually include five or more distinct dwellings. A goal for the project was to embrace the heritage of both the overall ranch and the existing structure, and led the team to focus on blending old and new elements, including a singular organic shape and formidable stone exteriors, while updating it with contemporary finishes and furnishings.
It is all about stewardship. Uniting the past of a building with the technical processes of today, while appreciating and respecting the people who were here before us. – Sarah Broughton, Principal
