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

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.

[@lucykeightley1466]

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

[@JK-xl7un]

Blessings and good luck!

[@fakenorwegian4743]

I have to wonder what his storage unit looks like.

[@andrewgifford7740]

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

[@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...

[@CrankyHermit]

Not a place for living, but for dying. For hardened people lost in a cerebral hell, trying to kill off the last of their humanity. And that of their children as well. They have to go outside to be reminded that life exists.

[@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.

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

[@antoniocarlosrodriguescamp1497]

There are similar boring houses in Europe by the thousands. Nothing special.

[@soniaespada1366]

Parece ser el minimalismo al extremo.

[@TIWNA851]

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

[@andgo1400]

Not a place I would love to live in.

[@robontube12]

It has style, no doubt, but looks like an exhibition for furniture, not every day life! Buildings outside is fantastic, well done!

[@julietphillips1991]

Now this is minimalist. I love it.

[@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. 😃

[@OUTBOUND184]

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

[@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 . . . ? .

[@jooooo9572]

Where is the bookshelves man

[@jooooo9572]

Found them

[@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 😂

[@Nadia.A.]

It’s quiet and uncluttered. Lovely.

[@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

[@nielsevenepoel6310]

🥰

[@toppcatt5113]

That house looks like five houses.

[@maricruzramirezherrera9799]

Menos es más, definitivamente!!!

[@doraaddy4408]

John Pawson is a great guy👍🏅🏅🏅

[@ram.i]

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

[@johns.777]

As they do .....

[@dzhegor]

Как вы только находите такие потрясающие места 🥹 👍

[@tristanlee6538]

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

[@anitavirginillo]

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

[@GaryPaulson-y1d]

Bliss

[@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.

[@travel_around_beauty]

Bravo!

[@rodart1945]

LOVE!

[@3Unique]

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

[@antoniocarlosrodriguescamp1497]

!!!!!!!!!!😊

[@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.

[@julitawojtowicz5479]

Beautiful..

[@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.😂
