Highway 93 is one of the only roads in and out of Midland so travelling past this property is guaranteed. A classic Canadian barn clad in weathered pine with rubble foundations has always caught my eye when driving past, it was no surprise that this barn would become the inspiration for a master suite addition to the existing house.

The addition sits atop what was once the original 100 + year old farm house, structural considerations where given to allow for a cantilevered second floor perched atop the existing construction which consists of rubble foundations complete with hand cut rough timber floor joists. Respect is paid to maintain the existing farm house and integrate a new more contemporary second floor addition.
