Roxbury is a rural town in western Connecticut, about two hours from New York City. This beautiful barn was designed by an Oscar winning photographer /inventor and his wife. It was totally rebuilt from the foundation up. A local landmark, the barn has been recognized by the Roxbury Historical Society for the owners’ sensitive yet imaginative preservation and restoration.

The barn is now a fabulous loft- like space with 17 foot ceilings and new banks of windows which bring the outdoors in season by season. Materials were recycled when possible – many steel beams came from Connecticut’s old Danbury Fair Grounds. Interior walls were framed for the open public rooms which include two seating areas -one with fireplace , a large dining area and a professional kitchen with wood fired pizza oven There are 3 en suite bedrooms , a screening room, a large office, utility pantries, a sauna and 6 car garage. Above the living area is 6000+ more square feet of semi finished studio space where the owners camped out while renovations were taking place. Lately it has been used as an art studio, for photography shoots and dance rehearsals Living at one with nature, yet less than two hours from Manhattan. The Roxbury Barn is perfect for entertaining, and great fun to live in. For more detail see roxburybarn.com

To add light to the space, the owners tore down one side and corner of the building and put in walls of windows held in place by steel girders. That section is used as a living room, with a circular sofa built-in around a white plaster hearth.
