Upstate Barn

Lovell Kuhn renovated this old horse barn, rebuilding it to become a one of a kind guest house. Wood cladding throughout creates a warm atmosphere, while clean white walls cut through the space to keep things light and create a unifying band of contrast.

We used patterned concrete tile throughout to separate and define key areas. The wood burning stove is surrounded by custom fabricated terracotta colored concrete tile, while the bedrooms are defined by high contrast black and white tile and kept cozy with in-ground heating.

Re-using as much of the original barn as possible, we refinished the existing horse stall doors by blackening the steel and inserting obscured glass to create unique bedroom doors

Finally, we opened up the front of the barn by tearing out the facade and replacing it with a twelve and a half foot wide Nanawall door, connecting the landscape to the warm interior.
