  • As a kid playing in the hayloft of his parents’ dusty 80-year-old barn in Medina, Ohio, Andrew Towne never imagined that one day he would convert the space into a stunning modern home for himself and his then elementary school friend Crystal Madrilejos. But decades later, that’s exactly what happened. See how this family of four converted nan 80-year-old barn into a warm, cozy home with a one-of-a-kind exposed interior roof frame.

      That's partially due to the wide angle lens most the interior shots were filmed with.

    Their home is amazing, and their style is lovely. I appreciated seeing the way the lights can be moved. The very last thing the dad says is also so wonderful and shows some of his lovely character.

    In all my 48 years, I've only come across a mere three homes with an open plan floor that I've liked.
    This makes #4. I can also somehow see past the white, which again, proves how good a job was done here.
    An absolutely outstanding home.

    jaw dropping , what a magnificent conversion , and look at that cavernous interior , the ceiling height , spacious , especially with a family , that staircase is simple yet magnificent , love the practical elements such as the outside bank leading up to the first floor , when you start from scratch you can add these touches and plan your house how you want it . they also had a graet architect with some graet ideas and advice . I wish they gave measurements such as square footage and the height of that ceiling . if this homw was mine , I would never want to move anywhere else

    The frame of the roof on this one is truly unique and keeping it exposed was the best decision. Such roofs usually have those horizontal beams running across, without those beams this space seems very open.
