Jakaan Architects were tasked with transforming a tired 1980s brick veneer ranch house into a luxurious, high-end architectural barn-style residence. The challenge was to retain 90% of the existing structure while seamlessly blending modern design elements with the original 1980s architectural language. The result is a stunning fusion of the old and new, where the charm of the original structure is embraced and elevated with contemporary aesthetics.
The design features expansive open-plan living areas, vaulted ceilings, and large windows to create a light-filled, modern barn feel, while retaining the essence of the home’s 1980s roots. Careful attention was given to the selection of materials and finishes, ensuring a cohesive blend of the original brick veneer with new architectural elements, delivering a stylish and functional space that meets the needs of modern living.
This project is a testament to Jakaan Architects' expertise in adaptive design, creating a seamless transition from the past to the present, while maintaining the integrity of the original structure.
