The Barn in Rhinebeck

The Barn

S3 Architecture as Architects

The Barn’s pastoral setting on a 19th Century dairy farm inspired the rural barn form. The house sits at the back of the farmland backing up to woodlands and facing out to Catskill Mountain views.

From a distance, the house is designed to appear in context to the farm setting, with modern elements are apparent upon approach.

A cantilever entrance to the house is a dramatic counterpoint to the classic barn form. This negative section is mirrored in a second floor open patio, inspired by a hay loft and entered from the upstairs living area offering open pasture views.
