Inside Home Farm, the Cotswold family retreat of minimalist British architect John Pawson

Having spent most of his life in London, renowned architectural designer John Pawson set about creating a country home for his family, dedicating five years to renovating an old farm in the Cotswolds. Known as Home Farm, the property showcases an unlikely application of Pawson's lauded minimal approach to architecture, resulting in an idiosyncratic masterpiece, combining utilitarian farm buildings - some dating back as far as the 17th century - with modern insertions of glass, steel and concrete.…read more at nowness.com

The windows. The light. So beautiful. Love the simplicity of this home. Pop of color here and there. Lovely

[@andrewsemple692]

The final shot was perfect, dog running towards them, sunset on the background, surrounded by green 👌

[@ritahorvath8207]

sitting on the ice cold , hard marble . . . ? .

[@OUTBOUND184]

That shot of them at the outside table is absolutely exquisite....bravo.

[@julietphillips1991]

Now this is minimalist. I love it.

[@Nadia.A.]

It’s quiet and uncluttered. Lovely.

[@ellekewilms6891]

Magnificently restored farm-compound! I couldnt imagine living in it, however, I’m a creative person and this has, to me, such an austere feel to it.

[@ram.i]

Inspiring! Natural, simple, peaceful design, where leaving flows and blends perfectly.

[@MsGnor]

Thanks for sharing. I love seeing how people reno & live in their homes. Some of my fav textures ie white wash brick, stone, seamless floor, large timber beams. Stunning location. Can't imagine living **that** free of clutter & embellishment 😂

[@ruthedwards1765]

You made no mistakes in purchasing , the reconstruction or interiors , you are a leader in your field and thoughts , I got lost in your video , Thankyou

[@appartement2046]

This place makes me want to just read while basking in the silence

[@IWillHarvestYourToes]

This place makes me want to paint the walls bright colours and buy furniture. 😃

[@TIWNA851]

The outside looks so warm, interesting and inviting. For me a total contradiction to the inside.

[@3Unique]

I think that this is possibly the most beautiful house in Britain.

[@dzhegor]

Как вы только находите такие потрясающие места 🥹 👍

[@JK-xl7un]

Blessings and good luck!

[@anitavirginillo]

Just lovely! A few plants here and there would be nice & they would thrive in that light.

[@rodart1945]

LOVE!

[@travel_around_beauty]

Bravo!

Where is the bookshelves man

[@jooooo9572]

Found them

[@nielsevenepoel6310]

🥰

[@phild5322]

Isn’t it stressful having to put every single little thing away ALLLLL the time, as so not to spoil the minimalist aesthetic?

[@JBOsurf]

No. There's a joy in doing it. When you find it, you can't live any other way. And its especially easy when you get rid of everything you thought you needed, but actually don't.

[@trisnaekowiyatnikawaii3860]

No, your life is much easier and less stressful when you're less attached to things. What's more, you can define your own value, the one that suits you best, without worrying about other people's opinions and clichés. Every human being is unique. So you can only find your uniqueness when you rid yourself of all distractions, including attachment.

[@sonja0707]

Thisis theraputic a cluttered house is a cluttered mind. I live the complete opposite with my boyfriend he's a mini hoarder and I'm simulating. I'm desperate to have something like this.

[@johns.777]

As they do .....

[@toppcatt5113]

That house looks like five houses.

[@lucykeightley1466]

Whilst I try to appreciate others people design choices - this feels like an asylum to me…quite disturbing the lack of softness

[@toby7802]

That's not a home. That's a tomb. As much as I love minimalism, dude, light the fireplace! Or at least switch on a lamp...

[@IWillHarvestYourToes]

No doubt, this is a prepossessing space but I could never live in such a bright, airy and empty house. A little too sterile for my tastes.

[@mathetem]

At least you will never loose your car keys… spot them from a mile away each time.😂

[@andgo1400]

Not a place I would love to live in.

[@andrewgifford7740]

And of course there's a belching polluting wood burner, good luck with the carcinogens!

[@tristanlee6538]

This guy is taking minimalist to the extreme😂 the opposite of homely

[@zanyzoo6767]

Awful ........... cold and uninteresting ........... And been done to death , white rooms, with a bit of wood thrown in. Predictable and boring.

[@IWillHarvestYourToes]

@zanyzoo6767 Nah, awful is a strong word. Sure it looks like an expensive yoga retreat/luxury detox facility but it has been completed thoroughly and to a high quality. Imagine what could you do if you would introduce colour and actual interior design to this blank canvas. Just give it a soul because it doesn't have any... but I agree, this kind of boring minimalism is 20 years outdated.
