The metal shop clads its industrial program with the iconic shape of a New England gabled barn. Made of poured in place concrete, this building reinterprets the vernacular language of farm buildings through a contemporary use of materials and fenestration. With a large gable end window and folding doors, this structure becomes the site for the creation of large scale art works. Its industrial interior is juxtaposed with the rural setting beyond, and a large outdoor working courtyard creates a shared exterior work space with the Red Barn.
