Historic Barn Remodeled Into Sleek Weekend Retreat

November 30, 2018

This weekend retreat was designed for a power couple that's actively engaged in the arts — he as a Broadway producer, she as a fashion editor. Specht Architects was hired to reconstruct the historic barn and used polished concrete, second-grade oak flooring and maple plywood to make the interior feel modern yet warm.
