Here at Dwell, we geek out over adaptive reuse projects that reclaim old buildings and transform them into something that better suits the modern world. Not only are these projects often sustainable in their repurposing of buildings and various architectural and structural elements, but they also have a patina and history that makes them hugely evocative.

The location for a new restaurant, Farmstead, was a barn on the ranch that had been used as a plant nursery. "It wasn't an incredibly old barn," Johanson says. "It was built around the 1970s, but it was built with a very agricultural look." To stay true to its form, EDG Interior Architecture and Design decided to leave as much of the structure intact as possible, playing up the post-and-beam system and revealing the shape of the roof on the interior."
