Portfolio: Barn Loft

We transformed a once dark, underused barn loft into a light-filled apartment designed for our clients’ parents when visiting. Our goal was to create a welcoming space that felt both functional and connected to the property’s history.

The entire floor plan was reimagined to make the most of the centre ceiling height, and give the kitchen a full wall of storage and a generous island. To balance the timeless with the new, skylights were added to fill the angled ceilings with natural light, while the original wood beams were kept and paired with fresh white ceilings for an airy, modern feel. Thoughtful storage was integrated into the lower ceiling areas, and a hidden washer/dryer was added to create a laundry nook the loft never had before.

The design blends modern coastal freshness with subtle farmhouse touches, a nod to the barn’s origins. Equal parts functional and stylish, this reimagined barn loft is a welcoming space where family can gather and feel at home.
