Amsterdam’s architecture firm SeARCH has put a really modern twist on this farmhouse renovation in Zutphen, Netherlands. The architects went about the task of transforming a traditional brick farmhouse into a modern residence, embracing contemporary living while still honoring the historical and spatial characteristics of the original structure and its surroundings. From the original T-shaped building, which included a livestock barn extending perpendicularly to the main house (hence the “T” form), the architects demolished the barn and replaced it with a new, modern extension enclosed in natural wood, with contemporary skylights and walls of windows. The original brick structure houses the living areas. Adjoining the main house and the new addition, an entrance and a large, open-concept kitchen lead into the depths of the extension, which houses a workroom, a garden area and guest accommodations.
