BLAIR NICHE PROJECT
At just $167 per square foot, this high-design, low-cost barn in rural Wisconsin is an American idyll.
The architect chose granite for the house’s base, zinc for its roof, and Scandinavian pinewood for cladding—all materials that complement the nearby gray stone building.
The main entrance is on the house’s south side. It leads to a central hall from which all sections of the home are accessible.
A door leads out from the romantic courtyard, lush with plants. “Although we live in a big city, it doesn’t feel like it,” Kolasiński says. “The neighborhood and the nature are very relaxing and quiet.”
