Today I red a nice article in the newspaper about Weeber Weeber, two architects who have created a wonderful concept for a simple Barn house. The regular readers of my blog know that I am a big fan of this type of house; an affordable home with the silhouette of an agricultural barn.

The idea of the two architects is to counteract the catalog houses and the monotony of new neighborhoods that increasingly spoil our countryside.

In the Dutch cultural landscape, especially in the Dutch polder a barn is recognizable by its shape, volume and material.

I agree … and they are also so very beautiful and simple…

I love the barn house by Cor Kalfsbeek!I have a weakness for wooden houses. Of course the surroundings complete the picture…

Hello Erica,
Yes, more and more wooden houses pop up! Good!
This one is in Paterwolde, Groningen.

I love these houses. And Erica is right – look at the amazing open countryside. Yes, I could live there, there and there.
