A Modern Recreation Enclave

A series of uninhabitable dilapidated structures were transformed into a modern retreat that included a guest cottage and modern sports barn for the clients’ love of baseball along with the creation of a tennis court.
Inspired by the local vernacular, the new design preserves the footprint of the existing structures and integrates a shared material palette of reclaimed barn siding, crisp clapboard, and standing seam metal roofing.
The renovated barn features a recreation sports court/baseball batting cage area that doubles as large entertaining space with dramatic glass doors taking advantage of the outdoors in nice weather; a patio area serves as a Zen garden or outdoor sculpture, creating a sanctuary space amidst the natural surroundings.
Home Plate Barn + Cottage is a playful, bold and inviting destination for entertainment and recreation.
