In the countryside between the Veluwe and IJsel in the Netherlands FARO architects have restored an old farmhouse. The 150 year old building is transformed into one big space by using simple recourses and refurbishment. The interior is minimal and modest. The studio has a kitchenette, a bathroom provided with a shower and an attic which functions as a bedroom. The modernisation of the structure is recognisable on the exterior by a large panoramic window. From here the detached house reveals the supporting structure of the building. Four large glass panels open up a corner of the building and show the fascinating rhythm of the construction. The architecture is materialised with an apparently pragmatic restraint. The natural colours of the wood control the image of the interior. The elevations refer to the simple tarred barn.
