A dialog between radical contemporary interventions and the American farm vernacular, our Split Barn project reclaimed an abandoned building and morphed it into a modern transformer. Across three sites, this building skin of traditional wood construction was replaced with perforated aluminum panels. With this, dramatic openings and translucent connections between the exterior and interior spaces crack open gestures of light. A hydraulic door splits the building lengthwise, offering the relief of shade when opened.
