This gorgeous barn-style house, designed by D. Stanley Dixon Architect together with designer Barry Dixon, is nestled among rolling pasture in Cashiers, North Carolina. Although this house was newly developed, it evokes the history of an old barn that has been transformed into a residence. The exterior facade was painted a dark hue, transitioning to a whitewashed finish over natural materials on the interior.
The barn-style home was designed to capture views of the mountains through the front door, and outbuildings were constructed to embody the essence of a barn. Timber walls, ceilings, and beams showcase imperfections, promoting a relaxed atmosphere. Steel windows were integrated into the design to provide a lens for picturesque views, while the iron hardware is both rugged and refined.
