This house used to be a hangar, and its occupants were combine harvesters. See how the home’s owners remodeled the barn, keeping the stone walls, wood trim, and even some furniture.
The sisters completely redesigned the hangar, inside and out. They built a balcony and a veranda, installed a staircase and secured the ceilings for the arrangement of the second floor. They decided to keep the exposed stone walls and wooden ceiling beams – they became key details in the interior of the house.
The interior of the house can be attributed to the rustic style: a lot of wood, stone, wicker furniture, natural finishes. Wooden beams, stone walls, stumps for chairs and rough-hewn boards for tables and benches work well together in a hangar space.
Almost all the furniture in the house, especially tables, chairs and kitchen furniture, is made of pine. To protect the wooden surfaces from moisture, they were coated with an invisible microcement mortar. This coating preserves the texture of the wood and at the same time makes it wear-resistant.
Dolores and Natalia created the interior items by hand. For example, in the bedroom there is a mirror, the frame of which is an old window. The coat rack is a restored ladder that was in the hangar from the beginning. And the frame for a children’s bunk bed is made of wooden beams.
Interestingly, the bedroom and bathroom are one space, separated only by a closet. This is how the sisters used the area of irregularly shaped—too long—rooms.
The highlight of the house is the open veranda. There is a real forest fairy tale here: a wooden table, a bench supported by oak stumps, and even flower pots!
