Austrian Contemporary Barn / Bernardo Bader Architects

Bernardo Bader Architects based the design on traditional barn houses of the Bregenz district, with a pitched gabled roof, rectangular floor plan and clean simple lines.
Locally sourced materials and finishes is what lies at the heart of this design, giving it a sense of belonging and a renewed connection to the surrounding environment. Spruce, Fir and Elm trees were used for all doors, kitchen joinery and various pieces of furniture, as well as cladding inside and out. Bernardo Bader Architects also salvaged much of the clay that was removed from the site during excavation, reusing it for pressed mud bricks in the under-floor supports.
Bernardo Bader Architects took the same sensitive approach inside, reminding us of Claudio Silvestrin’s design philosophy – simple, minimal, pure. Only the essential is included with black Thonet B9 chairs contrasting to the soft blonde timber. Classic black Artek A330s pendants hang humbly above the table, with jet black leather and heavy blackened steel near by.
With such a careful approach to the design, the focus really is on pure living and the surrounding environment – the perfect country escape!
