Barns and boatsheds
Fri, 1 Jul 2011
I couldn't help myself. I had to dip back into New Zealand architects Sumin Chaplin's portfolio again. This time I was drawn to their contemporary take on the rustic shed and the old barn. Rich with texture, warm with aged timbers, always a fabulous view and just out and out comfy. Stylish yes but never precious. The barn I can see full of kids and dogs, friends and long summer days. As for the boatshed after the jump, imagine cooking freshly caught fish in that kitchen as the sun starts to set on another perfect day out on the water. If you haven't already you must visit their website. Their portfolio is amazing.

Wow, I'd very happily live in that barn! Beautiful.
Beautifully sited buildings; love the dark paint on the exterior.
that barn looks absolutely lovely! happy weekend
That first house is basically the home of my dreams!
Oh wow! Can hardly wait for virtual reality! I'll have leisurely mornings on pristine blue waters, long afternoons making love, cool starlit evenings around a crackling camp fire, listening to wondrous stories while eating delicious food. Then finally, at the end of the day (program?) landing in laughter and big cuddly hugs on a comfy white sofa in a house just like this!!.... ;)
Love love love.. :)
