An "unprecious" restaurant, a sculptor's studio and a handful of holiday homes are among the converted barns in our latest lookbook, which explores how to transform the interiors of these agricultural buildings.
Traditionally, barns are farm buildings that house livestock or store resources such as grain or hay.
But around the world, architects and designers have renovated these spaces ? often hundreds of years old ? to create homes or for them to be used for other contemporary purposes.
While the insides of some barns have been entirely remodelled, others purposefully celebrate their original features such as timber beams and gabled roofs.
This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen's archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring minimalist kitchens, pyramidal ceilings and eclectic hotels.
