Oh, those clever Dutch, always on the lookout for a new way to take a holiday in a unique way. Now MVRDV and Mole Architects have come out with this design of a far reaching barn structure for Suffolk, UK.

Living Architecture has a project of holiday homes across the UK designed by world-class architects. The houses are meant to be rented out as holiday homes for hard working Europeans in need of vacations.
