Architecture studio La Firme, have completed the restoration of a 100 year old barn in Quebec, Canada.
The project saved a 100-year-old building from being destroyed, and in turn, the original structure was entirely salvaged. Each piece of the hemlock structure was numbered and ultimately reinstalled, with the framework guiding the new layout.

Inside, its 30 foot ceiling height creates a space that’s both open and welcoming, with the old wood elements proudly displayed. Windows flood the dining area with an abundance of natural light.
