Contemporary architecture does not always equate to steel concrete and glass. It may include those things but it’s not the finish that defines the style. This barn happens to include the above mentioned finishes, but it is the form that defines it; rectilinear, clean, unembelished. It’s such a great design, and totally out of the box. We typically think of horse barns as red and white with a Gambrel roof, but not here! This example of work was done by Santa Fe architect Paul Richard, and I think it is extremely successful because he is so considerate of the vernacular of the region. I would love to see the surrounding buildings on this property~!
