Old barn, new barn

You might have seen architecture like this before. Quite a few architects have made their contribution to the modern barn, or the "Monopoly"-house, the last few years. But this one has got a point that others don't. The Swedish company behind "Bringåsen", Arvesund, have an unusual and somewhat controversial business idea: They take over old, forgotten barns in northern Sweden and transform them into modern, Scandinavian architecture and design. A collection of 21st century barn houses will be launched at the upcoming furniture fair in Milan in April. "Bringåsen" is designed by Daniel Franzén.
