Architect Visit: Barn Conversions

From Julie

Something about summer makes us think about lofty living spaces and barn doors that swing open wide to dissolve the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.

Above: Perhaps the ultimate barn compound, created by Adelaide de Menil and her husband, Ed Carpenter, in East Hampton from 14 historic structures (some dating to the 17th century) moved to the property over the years. When the couple sold the complex in 2007, they donated eight of the houses to the town of East Hampton to be used as a town hall; architect Robert A. M. Stern is presiding.
