作为休斯敦一对夫妇退休之家的初始部分，洛乔的巴恩多姆庄园是一个小的起居区和作坊，在附近繁忙的大都市的郊区作为周末休养地。对传统的德克萨斯白话风格的尊重，这个项目有点介于猎枪房和谷仓类型之间。作为一个1卧室/1.5浴室与一个加入车间，该计划还推广了一种典型的生活方式。

Designed as the initial portion of a retirement home for a Houston couple, The Barndominium by LoJo is a small living area and workshop that functions as a weekend retreat on the outskirts of its nearby busy metropolis.  Paying reverence to the traditional Texas vernacular style, this project is somewhat of a cross between the shotgun house and barn typology.  As a 1 bedroom/1.5 bath with a joining workshop, the program also promotes a classic live-work lifestyle.

在居住空间和工作空间之间，无论是程序化的还是机械的，允许在起居区域使用更多的被动系统的同时，在较少人居住的车间使用更多的被动系统。整个建筑也是从地面上升起的，这样就可以有一个爬行的空间，而不必深入到密密的、布满粘土的德州土壤中。起居区的主要入口位于建筑的南端，对其余50英亩的地产开放。当车间向对面北端的装货码头开放时，东立面就会打开，让可操作的窗户可以享受到夏季风的好处。

The Barndominium is split between living and work space both programmatically and mechanically, allowing for air conditioning in the living area while utilizing more passive systems in the less-inhabited workshop.  The entire structure is also raised off of the ground to allow for a crawl space without having to dig down into the dense, clay-ridden Texas soil.  The main entrance to the living area is located on the South end of the structure, opening up to views of the rest of the 50-acre property.  With the workshop opening to a loading dock on the opposing North end of the building, the East facade is left open for operable windows to take in the benefits of the Summer breeze.

Ipe木信封作为一个雨幕，隐藏任何排水沟和下水管，同时也减少热传导和促进通风后的正面。回收蓝色牛仔布材料用于墙壁和屋顶的所有绝缘用途。该项目的第二阶段涉及到在谷仓附近建造一个独立的满屋，将它变成一个客栈和工作商店，以最终恭维未来的主家。

The Ipe wood envelope acts as a rainscreen and hides any gutters and downspouts while also reducing heat conduction and promoting ventilation behind the facade.  Recycled blue jean material is used for all insulation purposes in the walls and roof.  The second phase of the project involves building a separate full house adjacent to the Barn, turning it into a guest quarters and work shop to eventually compliment the future main home.
