de Reus Architects is responsible for the design of this modern barn-style home located adjacent to the Big Wood River just outside of Sun Valley, Idaho. This spectacular dwelling integrates rational agricultural and modern building forms for its design. A double-story gable barn form for the living spaces is engaged with a flat roof structure for the entry, garage, and terrace areas.

The design intent for this project was to create a modern barn for the exterior facade and a modern mountain cabin aesthetic on the interior. The home is sited for harmony with the wild riparian forest along the river. The dark grey and black colorations of the home’s exterior compliment the Aspen forest.

Native plantings blend with the river environment, supporting wildlife and a healthy forest…the home defers to nature.

What We Love: Local vernacular and a minimalist concept helped to drive the design of this beautiful modern barn-style home in Sun Valley, Idaho. Surrounded by dense forest, we can imagine that this home would be a peaceful place to reside throughout the seasons. We are loving the warm and inviting living room with its wood-clad walls, floor-t0-ceiling-fireplace, and windows capturing the views of nature.
