Berkeley-based designer Gustave Carlson used reclaimed teak flooring, custom powder-coated aluminum windows and doors from Bonelli Windows & Doors in South San Francisco, Neff kitchen cabinets sourced from the Green Home Center in San Francisco, and tiles from Blue Slide Art Tile in Point Reyes in this 2,400-square-foot modern barn in Inverness, CA, for a family of four. Carlson also tucked a play loft under the rafters of the children’s bedroom. Via SF Gate.
