For this project, a large but derelict nineteenth century dairy barn was re-purposed as a studio, wood shop and archive for a working New York artist. The historic integrity of the barn was maintained by reusing its original exterior materials and timber structure, while rebuilding the interiors to allow for new high impact uses as an art production space. The barn was lifted to create new concrete columns in the wood shop allowing for increasingly heavy uses above. Fenestration included original windows as well as new contemporary apertures with custom interior shutters to allow free use of multiple walls while increasing interior light. Paired with the Welding Shed, these buildings become a self-contained and powerful production facility.
