Last weekend we offered you sanctuary with\u00a013 churches turned into homes<\/a>, and this week we\u2019re continuing the conversion theme by looking at another popular repurposing project, this time of the barn-to-residential variety.<\/p>\n

Maxwan Architects designed this contemporary loft shown from an old barn in the Netherlands. The floating stairs are definitely a step up from a rickety ladder leaning against a pile of hay bales.<\/p>\n

Amazingly, this luxury apartment in West London used to be a stable. Man, those horses must have been living large.<\/p>\n

From AR Design Studios<\/a>, this stable\u00a0was once the home of the 1946 Grand National horse race winner \u2018Lovely Cottage.\u2019 As you can see, it is now a lovely home.<\/p>\n

The milk-white walls and floors of this Roxbury, Connecticut home pay homage to its previous occupants: dairy cows.<\/p>\n

Yay or nay (as in horses) to this loft-style barn conversion from\u00a0The Anderson Orr Partnership<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Skylights are a nice touch.<\/p>\n

This warm and cozy conversion by\u00a0SHED Architects<\/a>\u00a0makes use of all the original barn materials, including the large wooden doorways.<\/p>\n

Those ceilings are so high we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the space was once a stable for giraffes (it wasn’t).<\/p>\n

\"seattle<\/a>\"seattle<\/a>Photos: Bainbridge Island Barn<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

From Seattle-based architect Don Frothingham, this open concept three-bedroom home on Washington’s Bainbridge Island was once a dairy barn.<\/p>\n

\"Barn<\/a>\"Barn<\/a>\"barn<\/a>\"barn<\/a>Photos:\u00a0Skene Catling de la Pe\u00f1a<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Also a former home to milking cows, this five-bedroom unit by London-based Skene Catling De Le Pe\u00f1a now features\u00a0layered oak and laminated float glass, which filters light in and out of the home.<\/p>\n
