From Agent: ,Inspired by the designer’s childhood memories of steel farm barns, this A-frame home has been masterfully transformed. The roof was removed, and an impressive steel structure was lowered onto the existing footprint, then wrapped in black corrugated iron to highlight the essence of a barn. The entire northern face was replaced by a six-metre wall of glass, flooding the interior with natural light and creating a seamless connection with the garden and the breathtaking northern views. Based on Bauhaus principles – where form follows function – and African vernacular design, this home offers unparalleled versatility. The industrial steel cube allows for dynamic, interchangeable spaces that can open or close to the outside world to suit your needs.”
