Modern Barn Bedroom
http://www.spechtharpman.com

This historic gambrel barn was partially destroyed in a fire. The owners commissioned Specht Harpman to design the rebuild so that the barn would remain contextual with the other buildings on the 8-acre site while the interior was radically restructured to create a free volume. Polished concrete floors blend with exposed maple framing and custom woodwork to create both elegance and comfort.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Of course, some salvaged wood flooring in an earth tone can soften up all those shiny, modern surfaces.
In this bedroom, wood walls run along the sides while a taller white ceiling with boxed-out beams makes up the center portion over the bed. The design is like an inversion of an exposed wood structure with white drywall below it.

added by gemmaz to Mikey's House: Wall Treatment - Bedrooms (8 months ago)
Find a way to incorporate the material of the wall treatment with shelving. I'm always a fan of the 3-dimensional approach, where the floor, wall, and ceiling material is the same but not everywhere (I like how the white carves out the wood).
