\nFarris\u2019s own work on\u00a0the project, located in\u00a0the historic city of Bruges, first entailed removing the hayloft and partitions inside the stable, lining the resulting shell in concrete, restoring exterior brick, and cutting skylights and additional windows. \u201cEmptying the volume made it possible to feel the whole space, as if you were in a chapel,\u201d he\u00a0explains. Then he assembled an irregular stack of oak beams that stretches nearly half the\u00a0length of the 1,000-\u00adsquare-foot interior.<\/p>\n

\nThe oak monolith resembles contemporary sculpture, a sort of Donald Judd meets Richard Serra. However, Farris speaks in more pragmatic terms of an \u201cauton\u00adomous furniture object\u201d that handles all office functions \u201cwithout closing anything off or blocking any views.\u201d The composition and orientation were determined less by artistic concerns than by the various needs of the property\u2019s owner, a businessman who often brings home adminidstrative work.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nSome of the beams, hollowed out and fitted with sliding doors, serve as cabinets. Protrusions and recesses became either shelves for books or the steps of a staircase so helter-skelter that it\u2019s difficult to identify as such. The stair leads up to a mezzanine outfitted with a pair of black linoleum desktops. Under it are tucked a table and chairs for meetings.<\/p>\n
