Affectionately known for it’s twin barns set perpendicular to one another, the Two Barns was designed by Space Studio as a luxury retreat and located in the historic Cardrona Valley. 

Nestled into the gentle slope and across from the river at the base of the valley, the barns are situated to take in the dramatic landscape and draw on the valley’s rich gold mining history for inspiration. Each barn has a purpose with the living quarters featuring a double height open ceiling and dramatic central window at one end with a courtyard at the other. In contrast, the second barn is divided into two stories, with ample accommodation, bathrooms, drying room, media room and garage. 

The lean-to structure which connects the two barns uses Clutha stone and schist in the entrance and is juxtaposed with wide oak floorboards, tile and board and batten wall linings throughout the space. Generous, cosy furnishings and soft lighting create a feeling of warmth and comfort in the expansive open-plan space.
