A monumental half-timbered barn in the village of Ter Maar has been converted into a fully-fledged living room. 

The point of departure was the preservation of the half-timbered trusses, which have been partly restored and partly renewed. A long skylight provides sufficient light. The roof floor is separated by a glass wall encased in steel.
