Subverting the traditional, conservatively cozy British barn conversion, Carl Turner created a getaway in rural Norfolk for himself and his friends to visit, repose, and consider the beauty of agrarian minimalism.

Very nice use of existing historical structure. However, the OSB furniture ruined it for me. Used to have an exposed OSB furniture as a child; bad experience catches on clothing like Velcro only worse unless it is sanded and finished? Anyway it is a very nice dwelling apart from the furnishings.
Amazing exterior and use if existing structure, however, interior OSB turns me off. I was going to use this material simply as a sub floor in my house but could not stand the off gassing.
Very inspiring and bold. The way it seems intact from the outside and lets nature flow around it is awesome. I like the OSB but admit that it is a bit over the top. But the good part is that it is cheap and recycled material. It also refrains to a certain simplicity but yet not a piece of mind. I would like some rugs on the floor. It is a typical brand new house that will look more loving each year. Bravo!
Very neat concept! I think what would have finished the OSB furniture is to have the edges covered with the same aged steel in the roof system. That would have carried the theme and also finished the edges of the OSB. Which will eventually start to fray as the moisture changes. Other than that, a very cool concept. We had a homeowner plan on using OSB as a finish floor. Stained and cut to tile dimensions and then installed in a tile pattern.
