Dutch design studio Studio Space Architecten works in collaboration with local design practice Studio REDD on the new Black Barn located in the town of Goirle. It is a shared office space and boasts a barn-like style that is made from black-stained timber. The large windows overlook the river nearby and the overall design is inspired by old farm structures around the location.
Studio Space Architecten's founder Vincent van Heesch speaks about the architectural influence to Dezeen and notes that "The choice for an archetypal shape was given by the historic context of old farmhouses, and it completes the ensemble on the road of stable, farm and barn. We stand for calm architecture. By putting a certain degree of abstraction in our designs, we try to break free from trends with aesthetic durability."
