Barn Vocabulary: Simple silhouette and corrugated metal

A residence borrowing the form of an agricultural barn: a long volume, symmetrical steep double-pitched roof, completely without eaves. Both walls and roof are covered with the same dark gray corrugated metal sheets, with the corrugations running vertically, continuously from the ridge to the ground. On the gable end, there is a huge square opening with a large metal door that can slide horizontally, revealing floor-to-ceiling glass behind it when opened. The remaining facades have only a few slender high windows. The building is situated on farmland, surrounded by grassland and a few old trees, without fences. Avoid: adding eaves and gutters, horizontal metal sheets, ordinary doors and windows, decorative farmhouse elements.

一棟住宅借用農業穀倉的形式:長條的量體、對稱的陡雙斜屋頂、完全沒有出簷,牆與屋面都覆蓋同一種深灰的波浪金屬板,浪的方向是垂直的,一路從屋脊連續到地面。山牆面上有一個巨大的方形開口,配一道可以整片橫向滑開的金屬大門,開啟後露出後方的落地玻璃。其餘立面只有幾道細長的高窗。建築坐落在農地上,周邊是草地與幾棵老樹,沒有圍籬。避免:加入出簷與天溝、金屬板做成水平方向、開口做成一般的門窗、加入裝飾性的農舍元素。
