The Rêve: Modern Barn Guide
For those dreaming of a modern barn home - without the overwhelm.
What most people don’t realise until they’re deep in the process is just how many moving parts shape the outcome of your build - the orientation, the floor plan, the materials, the flow, the budget, the team and all the little details you don’t know to ask until it's too late.
That’s why we created The Modern Barn Guide.
A guide built from years of designing, building and living in these homes ourselves - so you can move forward with clarity, confidence and intention.
What You’ll Learn
A clear, practical framework to help you define:
- Your design vision - what you want your home to feel like, not just look like.
- Your lifestyle needs - so your spaces work for you now and evolve with you.
- Your priorities & budget - what truly matters, and how to invest wisely.
- Your site potential - orientation, landscape, views and constraints.
- Your aesthetic direction - materials, palette and architectural cues.
All grounded in insights from years of designing and creating modern barn homes.
