In just one year, we transformed our old barn from 1918 into a space that breathes life again. The original condition of the barn was deplorable – the roof was on the verge of collapse and the floor was gone. The first step to saving it was to replace the 12-meter-long supporting beam that formed the backbone of the entire structure. Without this demanding work, the roof that we decided to save would not have had a chance to last.
Before replacing the beam, we had to make a solid foundation, so we started to concrete the floor, laying the foundation for further work.
The roof repair was completed – roofers at a height of 8 meters carefully lathed and laid old burnt tiles so that the barn remained true to its original appearance. Every detail was important, and it was thanks to this precise work that the roof gained its new life.
The final icing on the cake was the installation of huge, 3.5-meter-high windows. These not only closed the barn perfectly, but also filled it with light and gave it a modern, yet still rural feel. Looking back today, it is incredible to see how the barn has transformed in just one year.
In the video, you will see not only this fascinating journey from ruin to saved barn, but also a comparison of how it looked at the beginning and where it is today. However, the restoration is not over yet. In 2025, we plan to continue and bring further improvements to the barn to make it truly our deep village.
