Design a new home for a family of 4. 

The clients had some very clear wishes and ideas of what they wanted- an artists small studio, attached two car garage and an exterior area for a hot tub. 

The project was a new build on a freshly excavated and formed lot, beautifully located on a semi-forested slightly sloped hillside.

The overall vernacular of the design reflects the many barns found throughout the area. 

How to create a freshly built space which can somehow be imbued with the warm ambiance, atmosphere and proportion that accompanies the old barns from the past.
