Architect Visit: Shed Architects Whidbey Island Barn Conversion
From Janet
Seattle-based Shed Architects recently converted this Whidbey Island barn into a living space that supports a variety of activities and guests. The architects made use of salvaged cedar siding for the interior wall surfaces (note the drawer and cabinet fronts in the kitchen) and used salvaged wood beams for countertops and benches. "In a very real way, the barn was turned outside in, and then wrapped in a new cedar board-and-batten skin that will weather and show its age well," according to Shed.

this is so wonderful. love the rustic meets modern combination!
I lived on Whidbey Island for 10 years. This design shows a real understanding of the place and it's enduring character.
As a barn converter from the 'other side of the pond' I have to say that these are inspirational pictures - I love that detail of the storage on the steps on the over hanging floor and the slit window to gaze through as you bathe is a lovely feature.
