这座秘密谷仓是旁边那座赭色大谷仓的补充，原来是一个脱粒仓库，现在被CTA设计改建为住宅和工作室。

这一改变是为了创造一个新的自给自足的系统，根据不同的时间和用途可以做为客房、工作室和聚会场所。

这是一个隐居的地方，也是一个激发灵感、享受生活的所在，可以同时工作和生活，而不用在这两者间平衡和妥协。

建筑位于剑桥郡广阔的沼泽地旁，是一个黑色的简单的体量，与邻近的谷仓形式近似。它们相互垂直排布，定义出一片院落的起点，而终点则消失在远处的地平线。这一简洁而清晰地形式也唤起人们对过去农场的记忆。

隐形谷仓尊重当地农业条件，但是和传统谷仓不同。隐形谷仓是一个尖锐的黑色体块——近处看像旁边谷仓的阴影，远处看就像一个剪影。它具有张力的立面运用十分有限的颜色，没有过多的细节，没有遮挡的矗立在田野上十分合适。

室内所有空间的墙壁都采用了温暖的定向刨花板作为内装饰材料，让人想起相邻谷仓中用稻草来进行功能分隔。

这种半围合的分隔方式也创造出一种易于让人沉浸其中的室内景观。虽然每个房间都能望见外面广阔的土地，从外部却不容易看清室内的情况，形成一种安全而温暖的感觉。

室内空间采用了以一个主空间串联起半开敞的口袋状小空间的形式，这样的安排可以适应不同功能的需要，有些空间既可以做卧室也可以作为会议室。空间的性质和风格是中性的，既不会显得过于居家，也不会过于商务化。

Stealth Barn is a project that sits next to and complements Ochre Barn, a large threshing barn converted by CTA to a home and studio. This addition was to provide a self-contained unit that could equally act as a guest house, studio or meeting place, depending on time of year and workloads: a retreat, but also a place of inspiration, enjoyment and a place of work and home without compromising the experience of either. Sitting in the exposed expanse of the Cambridgeshire fens, it is a bold, simple form, reminiscent of the barn it accompanies. Placed perpendicular to the existing barn, it stands to create and define a slightly more sheltered and casual garden which melts into the fens. This clear and simple move also hints at the memory of a former farm yard.


Stealth Barn pays respect to the form of the agricultural context but contrasts with the traditional barn. Stealth Barn is a sharp black mass – a shadow of the adjacent barn or a silhouette on the horizon. It is a robust exterior wrapped with a restricted palette, devoid of fussy detail, and formed to withstand its exposed position.

On the interior, this toughness is inverted through the inclusion of a warmer OSB; it wraps fully around the space to form angles reminiscent of the adjacent barns divided with straw bales. It also creates an immersive interior landscape with spaces simply disected in a semi open-plan manner to create compartments. Each room has aspects overlooking the fields which, although open, are very much seen through and out of this interior, providing a sense of protection and warmth. The arrangement of the main spaces into simple pockets is key to facilitating the barn’s multifunctional use – for it to become both a bedroom and a meeting room, a dining room and a studio space. It can be all of these things equally without ever feeling overly domestic or of business.

Stealth Barn is a project instigated and overseen by Carl Turner Architects. We have acted as developer Architects and, in turn, the project has allowed the office scope to experiment, learn and test ideas.
