barn-inspired architecture by Mell Lawrence Architects

As it's probably clear by now, I have a weakness for agricultural forms and love the look of barn-inspired contemporary structures. Here's a collection of gorgeous homes designed by Austin-based Mell Lawrence Architects that feature this kind of visual vocabulary. There are many more fabulous photos on their website, including a number of beautiful interior shots illustrating the designers' masterful ability to create comfortable contemporary spaces from the humblest of materials.
