"건축은 과거를 존중하면서 미래를 위한 길을 열어야 한다."— 글렌 머컷(Glenn Murcutt)

농업 유산을 품은 현대 주거, RX Architects의 네덜란드식 헛간 주택 RX Architects-Dutch Barn House

야생화 초원과 홉 밭, 숲과 과수원이 펼쳐진 영국 시골 풍경 속에 한 헛간이 서 있다. 더 이상 쓰이지 않던 농업용 건축물이었지만, 지금은 한 가족의 보금자리로 다시 태어났다. RX Architects는 이 프로젝트를 통해 농업 유산을 존중하면서도 현대적 주거 성능을 더하는 자신들의 설계 철학을 선명하게 보여준다. 건축주와의 긴밀한 협업을 통해 완성한 이 집은 제한된 예산 안에서도 높은 환경 성능과 공간적 풍요로움을 동시에 이뤄냈다. 시원하게 트인 헛간 특유의 볼륨감과 아늑한 거주 공간이 조화를 이루며, 견고하면서도 섬세한 재료 구성이 전체를 관통한다.

기존 골조를 다시 살리는 일은 쉽지 않았다. 건물 바로 곁으로 개울이 흐르는 탓이었다. 건축가는 이 구조적 난제를 창의적으로 풀어냈다. 기존 구조 위에 새로운 외피를 덧씌우되, 낡은 아연 도금 골판 지붕은 그대로 남겨두고 이를 내부 천장으로 삼았다. 헛간 본연의 성격을 이렇게 지켜냈다. 해체한 목재 골조 일부는 개울을 가로지르는 임시 가설 통로로 재사용되었고, 공사가 끝난 뒤에도 그대로 남겨두어 지금은 집과 들판을 잇는 작은 다리로 남았다.

기존 철골 골조와 곡선형 골판 지붕은 내부에서 그대로 드러난다. 헛간 특유의 명쾌한 볼륨감이 고스란히 살아 있다. 건축가는 외피를 단열재로 보강해 열성능을 높였고, 그 위로 새로운 곡선 지붕을 빨간 골판 강판으로 씌웠다. 입면은 낙엽송 목재 클래딩과 아연 도금 골판 금속, 콘크리트 시트를 섞어 구성했다. 견고하면서도 섬세한 재료 팔레트다.

깊숙이 들어간 진입부는 목재로 안쪽을 마감해 은신처 같은 느낌을 준다. 이 경계 공간 덕분에 사계절 내내 실내와 실외를 자연스럽게 오갈 수 있다. 거실에 길게 뚫린 삼중 유리창은 주변 풍경을 액자처럼 담아낸다. 풍경과 건물 사이의 시각적, 공간적 연결이 강렬하다.

건축가는 고성능 목조 벽체에 목섬유 단열재를 채우고, 콘크리트 슬래브 바닥을 깔아 열용량을 높였다. 에너지 효율이 높아진다. 내부에서는 광택 나는 콘크리트 바닥이 벽과 만나고, 벽은 타델락트로 마감되었다. 모로코 전통 미장 기법이다. 손끝에 닿는 질감이 따뜻하면서도 헛간의 산업적 성격을 해치지 않는다.

지속가능성도 놓치지 않았다. 지붕에 설치한 태양광 패널과 공기열 히트펌프가 저탄소 에너지를 공급한다. 현대적이면서도 맥락을 존중하는 건축이다.

Set within a rural landscape of wildflower meadows, hops, woodland, and orchards, this Dutch barn conversion transforms a redundant agricultural structure into a contemporary home while respecting its farming heritage.

The project exemplifies RX Architects' approach of close collaboration with clients, transforming agricultural buildings through contemporary design and high environmental performance. The resulting family home, delivered on a modest budget, balances expansive barn like volumes with intimate spaces, all unified by a restrained and tactile material palette.

Reusing the existing metal and timber frame of the old barn presented both structural and site challenges, particularly with a stream running directly alongside the building's base. The solution was to overclad the structure while leaving the original galvanized corrugated roofing in place to form an internal ceiling, preserving the barn's character. Unused timbers from the existing frame were repurposed across the stream, creating temporary construction access that now remains as a small bridge, connecting the family home to the surrounding fields.

The original steel frame and curved corrugated roof are retained and expressed internally, preserving the barn's volumetric clarity. The envelope is thermally upgraded and wrapped in a new curved red corrugated steel roof, while elevations combine larch timber cladding, corrugated galvanized metal, and concrete sheeting, creating a robust yet refined material palette.

Deep timber-lined recesses form sheltered entrances, extending the indoor-outdoor threshold and allowing year-round use. Long, linear triple-glazed windows to the open plan living space frame views of the surrounding landscape, reinforcing a strong visual and spatial connection to the site.

High-performance timber frame walls with wood fibre insulation, combined with a concrete floor slab, enhance thermal mass and energy efficiency. Internally, polished concrete floors meet walls finished in Tadelakt — a traditional Moroccan plaster — adding tactility and warmth while maintaining the building's industrial character.

Sustainability is integral: a roof-mounted photovoltaic array and air source heat pump provide low carbon energy, delivering a building that is both contemporary and contextually responsive.
