Architecture (建筑) firm Bua Studio recently turned a used barn (谷仓) in Iceland into an artist's studio and home. Titled Hloduberg Artist's Studio. the project includes work spaces on the lower level and the living area above. The architects carefully worked with the barn's original structure (结构) o protect the walls and make good use of the other parts.

The completed project looks interesting with a range of materials. On the lower level, the old walls of the barn contrast with the light wood structure within. Above, cold-rolled steel structure protects the second level from the strong winds. This part of the new addition is finished with an enabled roof, adding more interest to the interior (内部).

Within the existing barn the architects fit a kitchen and dining area. Also on the first level is a double-height artist's studio after which the project is named. The rest of the original structure o the bam now acts as a garden wall in the courtyard.

The architects didn't want to create big changes even to the areas of the barn that were safe enough for further construction. Small openings were made to prevent the influence on the structure. Still, shots of the interior show a beautiful light space, partially lit with openings coming from the second level in the double height studio.

"We added two big openings because we needed to let more light into the kitchen and an entrance to the studio to get in large at works." say the architects.

The interior of the building is made up of a much lighter color palette with white wood board on the walls and floor and other cool colors. Much of the furniture and larger design were inspired by local design of the area in Iceland.
