Saphir Haus Recreation Barn
Bridging the main house and the bunkhouse, the recreation barn is a lively hub for entertaining—perfect for large gatherings, family-style meals, and movie nights. We modernized the structure inside and out, recladding the original red exterior in reclaimed wood and installing a large picture window to frame the spectacular views.
The redesigned kitchen now anchors the space, allowing the client—an avid cook—to enjoy time with her guests, even while preparing meals. Natural materials like driftwood-toned tables, rope, and shearling add texture and contrast to the white walls and black floors. To bring in a playful touch, we hung swings at the island instead of stools and suspended cloud-like chandeliers overhead. The loft area houses the client’s extensive cookbook collection, a well of inspiration for her creations. A golf simulator and game tables make this multipurpose space a favorite for both adults and kids—and a seamless extension of the main home.
