D’Apostrophe Design is responsible for the design of this renovated minimalist barn house located in Remsenburg, a hamlet located in the Town of Southampton, Suffolk County, Long Island, New York. Nestled on just over three-quarters of an acre, this modern barn is an architectural masterpiece. This two-story residence encompasses 5,200 square feet of living space with five bedrooms, three and one-half baths, and a 720-foot endless pool… Continue below to see the rest of this stunning home…
The renovation included several phases and elements. The main goal of the owners for their home was to have a strong connection to nature, an open floor plan, a dramatic central staircase, and a sparseness verging on monastic. Such aforementioned elements are typical of modern architecture and contemporary interior design. The exterior and interior also exhibit minimalist design influences, while creating a dialogue and visual connection between the old and new aspects of the residence.
The exterior changes included replacing sections of the existing cedar siding with additional planks that were salvaged from a 200-year-old barn. The original cedar planks were then used to side the compound’s smaller structure that that is attached to an expanded garage. This smaller structure now holds a combined yoga studio and media room on the front end and in the back, two parking spaces.
The facade of this minimalist barn house and new pool house is treated with a patterned blend of concrete and cedar. Except for the front and one side of the connecting structure, the original mullioned windows were replaced with simple glass panes. This replacement was done to expose unobstructed views of nature from the interior.
Inside, several walls were broken down to provide a double-height living room and a loft above with three bedrooms on the second floor. Connecting to the loft is the statement-piece staircase, made of angled white-painted balustrades. The redesign and additions to the barn home helped to enhance the structure functionally and increase its relationship to nature.
What We Love: This minimalist modern barn house features a sleek and modern, yet warm and cozy atmosphere. Beautiful interiors showcase a grand great room with soaring ceilings and expansive walls of glass inviting the outdoors inside. A wood-burning fireplace in the living area provides warmth and ambiance during the winter months and those rare cool summer evenings.
