Marysia's Modern Barn Projects interprets Modern Barn Projects as a design philosophy that celebrates simplicity, functionality, and harmony with the surroundings. Our modern barns prove that it's possible to retain traditional character while offering the highest level of comfort.

Key Features of the Modern Barn Style

Modern Barn Projects are characterized by:

• High, sloping roofs reminiscent of traditional barns
• Large glazing letting in natural light

The modern barn from Domka Marysia is the perfect embodiment of these principles in Polish realities.
