Thanks to its soft landscaping and timeless aesthetic, this building looks like a working barn that has stood on its expansive horse-country property for some time. In fact, it’s newly constructed and designed not for animals but for sports. Inside, you won’t find stables but a turf field for lacrosse and golf practice

It owes its crisp, tailored look to the details of its design. A standing-seam metal roof, copper gutters, and white-painted board-and-batten siding complement sliding Essex Green barn doors and bluestone aprons. A shed dormer brings in sun during the day, while copper barn lights provide gentle illumination at night.
